Ordered an Orange Five on Tuesday from my LBS.

I added Hope headset and BB to the Pro and asked about having different coloured hope bits rather than black.

Id like the hope 2 hubs in that blue/grey colour (Gunsmoke) and also the BB and headset. The bike shop said I should contact Orange about it when they open on Monday. Has anyone else done this before or is Orange's hope stock just OEM and all in black only? Not a big deal really but when spending decent money the finishing touches are a big deal. Can wait till Monday but thought there may be others here that have done the same.

Hi have just brought an Orange R8 and upgraded to hope bottom bracket/headset and brakes and was told by lbs could only have them in black which in the end look ok ,might be worth asking orange as had a issue with bike and they were very good at sorting it out
