    …anyone know anything about it? Looks kinda cool, been looking at a Five for a while and wondering if I should hold off for until the 29″ version comes out? Thoughts?

    I’m sure it’ll ride just as well as the diddy wheeled version, but will be owned by bearded zealots rather than tubby yarkshire folk.

    unfortunately it still looks like it’s been welded by a blind chimp on PCP

    It is out,sort of.Was talking to the orange bods on Sunday.Only 50 to begin with and completes only initially.Was bolted down so couldn’t do the car park test beyond touchy feely.Wouldn’t mind having a play on one with some 140’s up front.Orange themselves were very skeptical at first but it’s no bandwagonerring exercise!

    SOunds good guys. Might wait until it’s available, see if I can get a demo, before parting with any money. Be nice to see how it compares side by side

    that’s not hard, I’m a fat slow old giffer

    EDIT and it’s Their not there stuff. If you are trying for indignation and outrage at least do it with the proper homophone, otherwise you just look a bit daft.

    I’d like a go on one of them. An Orange 29er that is, not a Ton. Looks absolutely horrendous, mind, but then I don’t currently own any non-ugly bikes so what the heck.
