Reading this thread, I’d have to say Santa Cruz myself.

😀

Do correct me if I’m mistaken though.

I have not read the thread but would have to agree.

It’s the same with anything though; you get a certain breed of person who is easily led/not much of a thinker, and they’ll buy into the hype with everything they purchase. See Apple/VW T5s/Santa Cruz/tattoos/Titanium bikes etc. etc. Of course some people buy the aforementioned stuff because it’s good; you can spot them as they’re not on a forum defending their purchasing decisions.

Dunno, you need something a bit more love/hate than SC.

OnOne?

I have a love hate and a Santa Cruz and an On one

I also have an orange 5

Oh god it’s a toss-up between SC and Orange for that prize.

I once dared mention that I thought that in the world of 650b Endruo bikes, Intense’s Tracer makes more sense than the ‘so hardcore it’s not even enduro anymore’ Nomad and the ‘it’s more of a Trail Bike’ Bronson, but even that hissy fit comes a long second to the time I joked that Orange have been selling the basic same bike since Noah wheeled his 5 off the Arc.

No sense of humour some people 😉

OP
Yeah you are probably right mate ..if that makes you happy 😉

You’re all wrong…

Jones? Apart from ton, obvs.

I’m not exactly precious about mine, had it 12 years or so and still not cleaned it 🙂

Ah come on, I checked in all my self-respect when I bought a frame in that colourscheme.

Precious about the bike or precious about the brand name/image?

I can hardly talk. My bike’s mint coloured and is an Orange, I also fancy a Santa Cruz. To top it all I live within spitting distance of London, have a handful of tattoos and what could be construed as a beard. By all accounts I should be driven from stw by a baying mob.

Love my bike, but this beard oil costs a bomb.

But have you cut the steerer.

“Please post pictures of your’e Orange Five”

WTF!!! kill me now.

Is the ‘e Orange Five the new version with a motor?

Not so much a brand thing, more of a genre…

Fat bikers, defo. They’re so much fun and the FS has been lying unused etc etc blah blah blah….

😆

Surly and Cotic.

Fatbikes eh?

Miles per smile, grin factor!

Shut it you bloody hippies!

I’ve ‘made up’ a new name for Orange 5’s.

Orange Fiveling Cabinets.

defending their purchasing decisions

The funniest people on here to be fair and also the most easily triggered. Have they convinced themselves they are convincing everyone else?

Gotta watch them re-sale values boys!

I’d say specialized.

But my spesh has been lying unloved since i got a fat bike

No sense of humour some people

TBF for some one to have no sense of humour, humour needs to be present in the first place. 😉

FTFY

Whichever bike I own at the time!

I once met Rob Roskopp at Stainburn, didn’t seem precious at all and was loving the steeper lines around the crag.

Surly and Cotic.

*checks shed*

How dare you!

No way. Who ever said Surly is wrong. In fact I can’t believe they said Surly.

I said it!

It was tongue in cheek as that is what I own 😉

Although somehow the wink ^ was missing off my original post which kind of ruined it 🙄

Fellow Surly owner I take it?

More than 1 by any chance?

1. Orange
2. Orange
3. Orange
4. Pinarello
5. Santa Cruz (even though I have one, wink)

Got to be Surly. I got totally flamed once for merely questioning why their cranks rust.
