Hi there,

Can anyone explain the difference in sizing of the two Orange Blood's please?

In particular, the only differences are the seat tube length, top tube and wheel base (i.e. all angles and heat tube etc are the same). So I would have thought that the wheel base and ETT (as they are parallel) should change by the same amount? However, wheel base is increased by 10mm and ETT by 20mm.

Which is correct then – or do i need to go back to geometry lessons?

Cheers

bump!

I've had a look into this and it is an incorrect figure. The wheelbase on the 17" should say 1166mm. I'll arrange for the web site to be changed. Shame about the thousands of printed brochures.

Orangeanorak, thanks very much, that makes more sense…

As a p.s. is there any more on the 6" linkage plates for the Blood as rumoured earlier in the year?

I don't think it's going to happen at the moment. Fitting the 6" link plates requires changing the can and re-tuning the boost valve. Could work out pretty costly and once you've done it, there's no swapping back to 5" without re-tuning again (if you wanted to that is).
