Looks like they’re selling pretty cheap at Start Fitness

I’ve still never ridden one. Really want to test one as I’d be tempted for £2099!

You can also get an extra 10% off with the code SAVE10, so another £209 off the price!

Now I really want to demo one! 🙂

Glad I’ve already spent my money. That’s totally the wrong bike for me but I would have been tempted at that price.

Got one (different spec) and it’s absolutely mint. Most versatile bike I’ve owned so far in 20+ years of riding. Also the most fun. I nearly went Alpine 6 but the Five is stupidly capable for a 140mm ‘trail’ bike. I ride natural and cheeky trails in Calderdale, the Pennines, the Lakes and annually in the Alps. This PSA is a bargain.

Damn you!
Must resist…

APF

Some blingy Segments on there at a big reduction too, for those who prefer proper sized wheels.

Is 2k for a bike with a ‘budget’ fork, slx and no dropper considered good value?

Yes I know it’s a third off, but just goes to show how ludicrously priced it was in the first place.

That said, if you are after an orange then I agree it’s a bargain ripe for a few upgrades as it appears to now be on oar with other brands.

It’s a decent, sensible spec that will last. Frame only is around £1,500+, so it seems pretty fair to me, even at full price. Handmade frame too (not that that interests me personally – I just really like the way it rides and the fact that it won’t need much looking after).

cracking deal on a great-spec Segment, £2879 with the code. Good thing they don’t do 0% on sale bikes 🙂

EDIT: actually some nice discounts on a lot of bikes, Santa Cruz Tallboy with Eagle & ENVE Wheels for £5k

If they had Medium five in Orange I think Id have to have one. An Orange just has to be Orange for me though.
Great PSA, + code deal.

There’s a similarly priced Intense at Merlin.. just sayin’

If I wasn’t moving house….

Do 5’s still suffer like a pogo stick uphill or have they got better since the original bike?

shocks have got better but it wont pedal like a linkage bike

Mine pedals just fine. It’s bollocks that Oranges don’t climb technical stuff: you just need the right set-up and to know how to ride them.

What size have you got Will? Nige

nigew – medium. I’m borderline medium/large at 5′ 10″ but always prefer to go small. With a 35mm stem, reach is still long enough for very long Lakeland climbs and descending silly steep stuff, and the wheelbase is just long enough too. I demoed a Stage 5 and Alpine 6 – both great and both more fashionable right now – but it’s the Five that suits me best for 90% of my riding.

Cheers. Medium should be fine! Now where did I put that 0% credit card offer 😉

Going all 29er next year so they’re clearing out old stock

No worries, nige. Shout if you need more info. I’ll look out for you on Calderdale’s trails.

Will do, I think we are in HB this Wed, i’ll be on my Bfe, the Mondraker Foxy is dead 🙁

Evening rides? Can’t make this Weds but maybe another time, or a weekend ride. Anyway, enjoy the Five if you get one. At £2k I reckon it’s a steal. Mint bike for round here – sorted geometry and super reliable.

Same price at Sunset cycles but a wider range of sizes and 0% too.

Is this just claering the 2017 stock? Sureley the Five cant go 29 next year when Orange have 29er ranges anyway.
I hope 27.5 doesnt go the way of the 26er

Sunset have the Intense Recluse at a very tempting price…

Yes, I think Northwind was just teasing.

Perhaps Five sales have slowed now the 2018 bikes aren’t far off. And the Stage 5 is new competition for it too – getting great reviews and more fashionable right now. I tried one – it was very good, but I still wanted 27.5. Neither is better or worse, just different.

£1500 bike with a £1400 headtube badge.
Total bargain for £2099 🙄

Even better at £1889, Sunset have the SAVE10 promo too, and now have 1 less Atomic Orange in Medium.
I’ll have to buy something for the wife now with the money saved…

That Sunset Cycles deal with 0% finance is a steal. The 10% discount code basically buys you a dropper. Ah, must resist!

Sunset are great to deal with too. Had a Segment and p7 off them now.

Of course it is.

Can you use 10% off voucher together with 0% finance at Sunset?

Would love to test a Stage 5 next year to see if I love or hate Orange 🙂

Fancied a 29er for a while now, but I want to test a few.

Not sure about 10% with 0%. You can’t on c2w bikes.

No, you can’t use the code and 0%, I’ve just tried. Sunset have changed the price too

Orange 5 frame is normally £1650.
Complete bike for £2099 with the 10% discount £1890.
If you bought the frame For £1650 another £240 you get a complete bike!

shocks have got better but it wont pedal like a linkage bike

Don’t listen to this man ^ he doesn’t know what he’s talking about

I got my Segment from them last year for just over 2k. Came with current 1×11 slx, upgraded wheels and rear shock. Frame is 1600 so bargain in my opinion. Oh, and it has a custom colour.
