Had a wee go on it last autumn. Very nice, I was surprised at how light it was. Looks seriously cool in the flesh with all the polished and green stuff.

Not any more. I won it on eBay last night.

Don't know too much about it apart from it has a custom shock and it's polished. I have always wanted a 160 and I thought this was the perfect opportunity. Also, as it was being auctioned for charity my partner might not flame me (too much)

It's made by Orange.

I am glad about that, I'm also supporting local business ๐Ÿ˜€

Was this his 2011 version he rode cabo verde on a couple of weeks ago?

It has some cracks in the frame so can't been ridden, tells you on the rbay auction. So careful if your bidding for it.

It mentions the damage in French tho, so maybe he won't have realised.

I hope you are pulling my leg. I specifically asked that question and I got a reply from Rowan saying not !!

I won't be able to do it any justice but I'll sure enjoy trying! I have only seen 1 picture which doesn't really show too much. I think it has 1x10 and different fork internals but that's pretty much all ive seen.

I saw this was built specially for the Urge, it was the one before that which I saw, looks identical from what I can see. I think they're pulling your leg ๐Ÿ˜‰

I have never moved as fast to get to my laptop, straight to a translation website!!!

Yes, that is really why I bought it. It has some history, and its build has been filmed/documented which adds something I think...

I've only met Rowan a couple of times but I get the impression that he's a very genuine guy who wouldn't be selling tat so I'd say you've got yourself a nice bit of kit there. Enjoy 8)
