Finally got to meet up with Funkrodent off of here and bought his 5 spot from him. Very pleased however I definitely need to change the stem for something shorter(see the pics). As it came........ [IMGThen washed and new saddle fitted... [IMG[IMGJobs to do include... New bottom bracket new gear cables shorter stem pedals. I also need to do a full stirp of the rear end as there is quite a bit of stiction even with no pressure in the rear shock, Im guessing the links need a clean and grease? Is there instructions anywhere on how to strip and clean the bushes etc? What do you think then ? I got it for a very reasonable £1275 which I dont think is bad for the spec(reve, hope wheels and full 10 speed deore) Cheers Steve

Ah brilliant, looking at the size specs the small does look really short.

I've only tried a small 05 frame so I've still to try a medium.

It's going to be a present for my 30th and graduating my PGCE so I can get something special. I just can't get out of my head how much I enjoyed the Orange 5 I test rode..

Gawjuss.

I'd be tempted to try the crud catcher attached just under the seat clamp though. Dunno, just looks a bit high up on the sp.
