I've still got a lot of residual lust for a steel Orange, and i've been whinging about the lack of a 29er version for donkeys, so I suppose I might have to get one now. Might wait for frame only though! ££££.

Saw that at the NEC Cycle show.

Ridiculous amount of money for a hardtail.

That's a lot of cash!

The lower spec S model is far more realistic... the RS is bonkers money... but admittedly, nicely specc'd.

Still waiting for a pic(s) of the S model to be released as also possibly interested. Worried it'll not feel as nimble as the 650b model though?

It's a beautiful thing. I may twitch at that S model though.

RS spec bikes are all stupidly expensive. The S looks pretty good for the money, I'd be tempted by one of them to compliment a whippier 650b HT.

Got the 650b version and it's completely mint. Sure the 29er will be similarly ace but slightly different.

Yep. Bikes are getting ridiculously expensive. When something that can be designed by a bloke in a workshop and kitted out starts costing the same (or more than) cars then it's madness.

Our own fault tho for paying it 🙂

Bet it's good fun, just like my 650b. Still can't decide if 650b ht / 29" fs or 29" ht / 650b fs is the correct combo.
