Very cool!

We never got Orion's over here in the states.

I've seen a few on this site. all from Australia.

I'd love to find one someday.

That's awesome mate.

Well done getting it posted.

Proud to stand next to it.

I got inspired when I saw yours and when a mate said he had one, it was all steam ahead.

Might even be able find another...

Thanks man!

Yeah, it's a trusty little beast.

Alls I know about the Orion is it came out in 86-88, they were either fluro pink to black or green to black.

Maybe check it out with 'wraith81'. His Orion broke the ground here and got Orion up on the site. Niiiiice.

Cheers SKat

Gday,

Frame was painted by the guy I bought it from.

I know that the professionals are pretty way out, like Camden or somewhere round abouts.

Hope that helps.

Cheers S

Well...

The time has come...

Bills and bits to pay for have led me to sell this one.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll … 0325528849

Just thought i'd letcha y'all know.

Thanks for all the comments and feedback, now it can be YOURS!

dpercival · 2009-05-30 4:02am

I've never seen one of these. Sorry you had to sell it. Very similar to a Torker or Haro Master, very nice.

samkat · 2009-05-30 4:37am

Thanks man. A pure case of 'I wish I kept it' here.

Had to free up some fast funds for the 82 Expert Racer build (should be up here soon).

Now that's nearly up and running I am craving an 85 Master.

LIVE THE DREAM I say...

Cheers S
