    drookitmunter – is that Plasma Blue or Powder Blue? Looks great!

    Cheers, it’s plasma blue. I had a choice of that red or black as the standard colours when I bought it. I know a guy who bought a black one but the paint faded really badly

    Hmmmmm, totally shite thread this 🙂

    I sold my ’07 Five in October last year but I’m sorely tempted to buy another and this thread is not helping.

    @jarmin, that looks mint!!

    @orangewinger
    , what colour is that?

    Really tempted by the Black Cherry colour but no idea what it looks like in the flesh. My old Five was silver so thought I’d go for something different……..if I was to buy another that is 🙂

    Not so, the black cherry is as it suggests, black with a hint of cherry in certain lights. Bloody lovely it is too.

    It’s probably my aspergic side coming to the fore, but how can you buy a bike with “orange” written on the side in any other colour? Just wrong!

    mojo5pro – Norland moor I reckon !?

    (An orange testing ground) I’m envious of your forks 44 RC3’s ?

    Missed the bargain on the 150’s at CRC last week by hesitating

    Yep, it’s good ol’ Norland. Close with the forks, they’re 55’s though not 44’s…and they are brill! 😀

    thats why my choice of pedals, stem, bars and seat clamp had to be orange!

    Agree on the orange Orange idea. When I got my latest one second had I really wanted a orange new one. Was going to get mine repainted orange but tbh I couldn’t justify the cost as my paint’s still in good nick. Will get a new one in the next couple of years and that’ll defo be neon orange, probably with blue Hope finishing kit.

    They all have those horrible SDG trail centre warrior saddles. They ruin a perfectly good bike.

    @reedspeed… well worth the money if you can afford it. I didn’t get on with the RP23 at all. Just didt feel right.

    You may aswell. You’ve got the triple chainset to go with it to. A classic touring bike setup.

    chestrockwell – How you finding the forks? mine seem to have no small bump compliance 🙁

    Full Member

    Mine are superb Shorty and much better over small stuff then my old Floats. Sounds like you need to mess about with the settings a bit. Can’t remember exactly which dial does what but there’s one that really effects the small bump ride. Do you have the the set up guide that came with the forks? I’m a numb head but managed to set mine up using the information supplied with the forks.

    Here’s my 2012 17″ finally finished in a spec i’m happy with (apart from an xt shifter which will replace the slx one this weekend). Back on spd’s for longer rides at the moment but it’s usually got some point one podium flats fitted. Rest of spec pretty obvious.

    Loving being back on a Five, so glad they went ahead and released the new size as it fits me perfectly, was in between sizes before.

    Ah, mine are twin shot so are different to set up. Even so,I’m sure you’ll find the right balance with some tinkering.
