Ben_OCP Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hey everyone. I was just wondering, does anyone have any idea when the new ashtons will be released? i heard that martyn ashton was working with Orange bikes or something like that. Anyone knows anythin? Thanks.CheersBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody home? Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I think I saw the same thing... on the ashton web page it shows like if there was a partnership between Ashton and Orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubZero Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) I am not quite shure but i hardly guess orange make these frames for martyn!So even one point more to go for an ashton bike!

RobinJI Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Nah, Orange don't make the current Ashton frames, there all taiwanese made, not British, as any orange would be. Would be very cool if they did a joint project sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 yep, ashton and orange are indeed in partnership, however, not all orange frames are made in the uk (actually, only 8 miles from me), only the folded alu models are, all the others are from taiwan which I believe the ashton/orange frames will be too. There will be some protos made and possibly a high end comp frame next year, these might be made in the uk, but I cant promise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Ah, sweet, cheers for correcting me, I'm rather glad I was wrong, both top notch companies. The current justice frames aren't made by orange though are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) No, they are tiawanese as (edit: you) said.... Edited October 26, 2006 by jake1516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_OCP Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Alrighty! thanks guys. Im a little tempted to get the current one, but i guess i might just wait for the new ones to come out too. im not too sure. haha. Indeed, some of the frames are made in taiwan, and some of the frames like the 224 downhill frames are made in the UK. but they're still really nice nonetheless. Hey Ali, do you have any idea how the new frames might look like?haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
