The only 22" Orange Five in the universe (probably), it's got a neck like a horse. It's also got a reverb now, which hides it's gangliness quite a bit 🙂
wors, a new one?
No mate, still my kona.

Someone please explain the filing cabinet joke?
It may not be the fastest or plushest and it seems to come with a lot of baggage, but if you want a bike to go anywhere whatever the weather it still takes some beating I reckon.

No idea. I've never seen an ally filing cabinet or one that was made in Hafilax. I go along with it though, just to keep the envious happy.
The welding's more like something from Vickers Armaments.

Not the only 22" cause I have one too!
An oldish photo it's now 1x10, reverb and renthal bars and I absolutely love it!!
This is my 2011 frame:

Bought it a few weeks ago to build up to replace my freeride bike.
The last few parts are arriving this week!

not gonna lose that in a hurry ^^
Strangely, that massive Five up there^^^^ (the 22" one) actually manages to make the swing arm look quite svelte. Ok, maybe Svelte isn't quite the right word, but it looks ok 😉
😆
Guess where this was?...

Not mine, but my krampus seemed to like the cute little five.

Five : long slack and low , not many true 140 mm travel trail bikes with 67 degree head angle.

i think fives look great if specced decently - im sure ask1974 will be a long soon to post a pic 😉 his is about as nice you will see well specced and nice colour co-ordination
alot of the fives i see pics of look terrible, with awful colour schemes going on, really chunky SDG bel air saddles and old fashioned worn cranks etc
the newest 2011-12 ones with the right kit on look pretty mint imo

I will add, that i don't own an Audi and do not work in IT 😀
