"They love Orange Bikes, they all seem to get a 10."

Their last review of the Five was ridiculous... "The rims are too thin and weak for a bike like this and the brakes don't work, 10/10!" Though not as bad as "We set the Inbred up with a 140mm fork even though it's only designed for 100-130mm, and found it didn't handle very well, so the P7 wins!"

Yeah I wonder if it's because they selected a bike specced for the riders height, but found it incorrect because the manuf suggested the wrong size. This would be a flaw in the bike/sizing, not the selection process, though of course more careful riders would test-ride the correct size first.
