With Rutland Cycling’s discounted Yetis I fancy a new frame. I currently have an 18″ Orange ST4 which is a bit small for me and I want something a bit burlier. I ride mostly at Swinley, with occasional trips to trail centres.
I really like the 575 but it would mean I’d need new suspension and wheels, but I fancy something for bigger hits but perhaps this is too much bike for the UK. I think it’s the bike for what I’d like to ride but rarely get the chance (if ever).
The ASR5 has had rave reviews but I wonder if it is a little too much like the ST4. But I could move all my existing kit over, and then upgrade to longer forks later on.
Then there is the ubiquitous Orange 5!
I’d appreciated any thoughts, £1250 is about my limit.
