I've narrowed down my choice of colour to the greens and oranges. I'm particularly interested in the neons.
Could you post your green or orange 5 up please with a note on what colour it is to help me decide please?

If you're anywhere near Wokingham then Mountain Trax have a demo five in neon orange.
The photos don't really do this thing justice, it's brighter than the sun!

Ornage main frame and green swingarm/rims for the full Tic Tac look.

Jeez, everytime I think an Orange 5 can't get any uglier, that one show's up. That is seriously fugly.

Awful - the colour isn't very nice either ;).

Haha, I love that neon orange colour, not sure about the swingarm in white tho. Going to see Stif's neon orange blood later. They've got a neon green there too which is useful.

It's fine having a stand out colour, but next year you will feel like all the people who were daft enough to buy yellow bmw's!

Not sure if this helps, but it's mine and it's green and I love it. Took it round CyB yesterday, followed by a trip up Snowdon the same evening. Came down the mountain first thing this morning. I'm starting to think this could be the ultimate do-it-all bike.

You see, before this I've had a grey and black frame, a back frame, and grey frame and a white frame, hence I have a burning desire for something vomit inducing now! Just exactly what kind of vomit is where I'm struggling though.

Neon Green, hard to catch the colour it screws with my camera.

A chap rode behind us round Cannock the other week, on a neon green one. Those braking bumps on the FtD are really the acid erosion from the vomit this thing was inducing by all who happened upon it.

neon green - personally not my colour of choice but love the bike.

Popped into stif this aft where they had a neon green and a neon orange. Love both but have settled on the neon orange. Keep your sunglasses and sick bags close by!

That white swingarm is just not right.
Anyway- if you're going to go with orange you might as well go with ORANGE I reckon, no points for second best.

What is the attraction of the Orange 5 ?
Tried a mates one and it was the worst full susser I've ever ridden. I just don't get it

Raceface orange bashguard on the wrong side for the pic, but I think it looks good. Many wouldn't. Blends in seamlessly if I leave it propped against a rusty 5-bar gate.

Don't get mismatched colours...
Looks like you snapped a rear end and orange never had one in the correct colour.

Neon Yellow wins it for me - 5th in from the left - that'll be the colour of my new Patriot then

Anybody got a shot of JE James Sheffield Orange 5 medium test bike? Someone must have, it's hardly ever available.

Thankyou for posting this thread. I've never laughed so much at a STW thread ever!
Particular favourite has to be the beige 'Orange Five'
takisawa2 you are a funny guy!!

Mate has a neon orange with a White swingarm, matched to fox fork White - it looks great. Don't like the colour matched rims on the one in the pic above though!
