weve sold over 200 fives and not had one snap or crack...ive dealt with a couple of warranty issues (2 to be precise) and orange were very prompt and didnt quibble at all...
i guess it depends on your lbs...we've got a great relationship with them which helps.
ive got an ex-sbs oppo on a 20" five se which he thrashes.he's 6'2" and about 18 stone...not a problem!

End of thread.
I love Si's championing of his Chumbas. So come on then, how much would one run to with a reasonably sensible build then?
I thought everyone was sick of me!
Chumba full build for £2150, nice build too, or rolling chassis for £1699, Frame Fox fork Hope wheels etc 
@si. will an XS fit a female @ 5'2" ?
si, i wish you would stop posting that bike.
my palms are sweating now............how big in inches is the largest.
Ton, large has a 21" seat tube, 24" top tube.
tlr, the xs small would fit a 5'2" rider just perfectly
si, how much would the price go up if it had a 36 fox fork.
Ton, drop me an email
See I want something that can cope with a bit of a bashing (mainly from my weight) but will also feel lively and pick up speed quickly. I'm looking at selling my old Prince Albert and getting another full suspension bike soon, the last bike I had was a Trek Liquid 25 and in some respects I regret selling it but it wasn't quite nippy enough for me, fine once it was pointed down hill though!!
Are these chumba XCL's going to cut it, do you have a large test bike?
PePPeR - The XCL is quite unique in that is quite short travel (130mm) but super tough and but still pretty nimble. Its not silly slack nor is it steep with a 68 degree HA so skips along quite nicely, very 'neutral' handling.
I dont have a large test bike i am afraid, there is a few guys on here who have XCL's who might chime in with their experiences.
