You may be aware of this already and I may just be a bit behind. Stayed at The Bike Lodge in Innerleithen this weekend gone (lovely place to stay by the way!)and the owner of the lodge turned up on this…..

Is it just me that thinks that the 'Strange' Oranges are prototypes that just don't have mass appeal?

That's surely a prototype Blood?

EDIT typing that at the same time as TSY. Pardon the repeat.

Why is there a door on the ceiling?

With it's physics bending properties maybe I was wrong to think that these Strange's are just prototypes.

Someone posted a photo of a 5 inch trail bike style Strange with that suspension set up a couple of months ago. I think it was a polished alu one.

Up, down, top, bottom, strange, charmed.

Yup. Man from Orange said that's what the 2011 ST4 was going to look like.
