Orange Bikes in Administration

I wonder if Hope might have a dabble. The owners were very keen at one point to have a fully UK built and equipped bike....

Hope already have their own bikes...

Yes but I don't think the carbon frames are UK made. We're orange still making their fresheners in the UK or had that been outsourced abroad?

I've seen videos on YT of the Hope frames being made and they were definitely Hope employees in the UK doing the layup.

The steel HTs I guess came from the same place as everyone else uses

Doesn't sit well with me. There still lots of people lots of money out of pocket. Just happens now, not Orange

So a bit like when Stanton re-appeared out of the ashes like a Phoenix, owned now by Dan Stanton.

All the coffee wankers were beside themselves with glee that one of the true bastions of British MTB had survived.
I assume the new Orange has just fucked over creditors in the same way?

That's kinda how it reads isn't it. On stw there's many standing up for both Stanton and Orange. I'm not so convinced
