Orange Bikes Burglary

Orange had their factory broken into over the weekend of 29th/30th of May. The mess has been cleared up and orders are now going through again. Orange sent this press release.

After the traumas of the weekend, the factory is almost back to normal, the doors are back on, the mess is cleared up and the orders are starting to go through the workshop again.

None of the full suspension bikes were affected and if you've got anything special on order, it will still be sat on the racks. 24 hardtails were stolen in total, all boxed and without forks, so if you see anything let us know.

The stolen list: 7 x 15 Inch - Diva Hardtails Radiant Blue
4 x 17 inch - Diva Hardtails Radiant Blue
6 x 17 G3 - Grey/red stripe graphic
2 x 19 inch G3 - Chrome Grey/red stripe graphic
4 x2 21 inch G3 - Chrome Grey/red stripe graphic

If you go to our web site you can see what the new Diva and G3 look like.

Sorry, but cannot guarantee the frame numbers on the missing bikes just now, but if you anything suspicious comes your way please call us with the details.

A boxed MacBook Pro and keyboard were also stolen.

For those with orders pending, thank you for your patience, it is much appreciated.
