I recently bought an Orange Blood to go alongside my 2008 Five SE, thinking it would be more fun to ride than the Five, but harder work on the climbs.
Well, I was only half right, the Blood is an absolute hoot to ride and I'm very much smitten with it, but it climbs a hell of a lot better than I was expecting. So much so, that I'm now wondering if I still need the Five. I was planning on keeping the old girl in more of an XC trim as opposed to the burlier state it has morphed into over the years.
I'm now contemplating getting shut of it and replacing it with some sort of hardtail whippet.
Oh what to do? Thoughts please.
