Anyone on here got pics of there's?

Putting my order in next week, probably gonna go black, I think that with all the neon 5s out there black is now the niche.

However... If a picture of one looking particularly sexy came up I could be swayed.

Cheers, google images was useless.

No pictures, but an Orange should be orange. The clue is in the name ๐Ÿ™‚

No problem. Go for Mandarin Orange rather than Neon then ๐Ÿ™‚ White forks and decals and send me a picture when it's done.

There are many reasons to buy an Orange full susser. Looks is most definitively not one of them. I'd say that seeing one looking 'sexy' is about as likely as a picture of Anne Widdacombe looking hot

Bit out of date now as it's got Hope 1x10 setup on there, 740mm carbon bar and 50mm stem. Yes the next blog is coming, nearly finished it last night. Technically the Hans Dampf doesn't fit as it fouls the front mech cable stop ever so slightly, 2.25 Nobby Nic on the way.

Yes I have seen/tried but in goppin colours, that neon green looks mega, definitely better with white decals instead of just the outlines.

And yes mandarin Orange is an option!

They're are silver not white but know what you mean. I chose mine based on the frame only photo on the Orange website.

Huh? Oh wait, I get it now. That's clever, is it because they're made from folded aluminium by a factory that was doing filing cabinets at the time?

Bright colours, especially green or orange should have black outline decals - white is risky and silver is unacceptable. Same goes for forks - that Gyro of GaryLake's would look stonking with black forks, as it is, it's just a bit 'meh'.

IMO, of course... (But I generally can't be questioned on these matters).

Maybe I'm in a minority of one (wouldn't be the first time), but I like my orange Orange with white decals and forks.

Does anybody really think that would look better with black forks? Can't see it myself, but then again I have no taste.

Really Nobody gonna bite?

...probably gonna go black...

It's political correctness gone mad I tell thee!!!

Fine then I'll chance the Ban hammer:

Once you Go Black you'll.... Wish you'd bought a bike in a more interesting colour.

Tell you what though, you don't see that many Cherry Red Oranges or Burgandy that's what you want a rich red not another "down with the kids" neon nobber effort...

But black isn't the colour you choose when you have an actual choice...

Oh Don't look at bikes for inspiration on colour choice, go and look at some Cars!
