I've got a brand new unused Maxle rear end for an Orange 5 if anyone is in need of one?
I got it for the crash replacement price of £400 from Orange, half of the normal replacement price of £800. If anyone needs one i'll let it go for £400.
I also have the front of the 2007 18" 5 which it was bought to go on. I now need neither as I got another bike sorted (a shiny new 5!). I'll take £200 for the front triangle, complete with a recently serviced, pushed and custom valved (for an 80kgs kitted rider) Fox RP23, and an FSA orbit sealed cartride bearing headset. Bushes, seals, bearings are as new. The paint is pretty tatty though (pics below).
I will also sell the new swingarm mated to the old front triangle for £550. I've talked to Orange and they will charge £100 to paint and decal the old front triangle to match the new swingarm (which is quite a bit brighter).

Note: The 2007 5 had slightly steeper geometry than the current one. the swingarm geometry was the same though so there's no issue with compatibility. If your after a more nimble xc oriented 5 than the current model then this could be right up your street.
