Phew. October is a long way off, glad I'm so weak willed that I bought one now.

Had a very brief go on a laperier on Sunday, they don't half shift accross the ground! Although the head angle did feel a bit on the slack side.

They had two five inch Stranges - one like an ST4 one more like a traditional Five - hope that confuses the issue.
ST5...that sounds good...would orange ever do that ? they would kill there own sales of 5's

Looks awesome I think i'll stick to my single pivot 5 tho

Same here, or at least when I get another 5 (probably 2011 model) I'll stick with it
Anybody think there will be a shortage/long order time for the new 5? There seems to be plenty for sale 2nd hand at the mo.Posted 2 years ago # -
looks fantastic, linkage gives soooo much more control of rear end than the 5's straight coupling... One day.. all 5's will have a linkage...

simonm - get hold of Richard at Fulford Cycles if you want to know what it's like. He was riding it when I was out with the Fulford lads a couple of weeks ago.

That looks like the bike Steve Wade was riding in Verbier back in September.
Struggling to remember what he said about it at the time, but I think it was more like a shorter travel Blood rather than a new development on the 5. Something like it did not have the big hit capability of the Blood but was more something else due to the reduced travel.
Think it might have been 4.5 to 5 inches.Sorry I can't remember any more and I have no idea whether that is correct or useful. At the time I think it was just something he had been playing with.

Tapered head and some graphics seem to be the only changes.

You will find that all manufacturers that used a 27.2mm seat tube will change to 30.9 or 31.6 to accommodate the now popular telescopic seatposts.
