...anyone know anything about it?[url= http://bikemagic.com/gear/the-bike-place-2012-the-latest-from-santa-cruz-niner-and-orange.html ] Looks kinda cool[/url], been looking at a Five for a while and wondering if I should hold off for until the 29" version comes out? Thoughts?
I'm sure it'll ride just as well as the diddy wheeled version, but will be owned by bearded zealots rather than tubby yarkshire folk.
unfortunately it still looks like it's been welded by a blind chimp on PCP
It is out,sort of.Was talking to the orange bods on Sunday.Only 50 to begin with and completes only initially.Was bolted down so couldn't do the car park test beyond touchy feely.Wouldn't mind having a play on one with some 140's up front.Orange themselves were very skeptical at first but it's no bandwagonerring exercise!
^ wot he said. I have an email from them saying it is sorting last details, but watch this space soon...
It does look like me perfect bike - anyone feel like lending me the money?
SOunds good guys. Might wait until it's available, see if I can get a demo, before parting with any money. Be nice to see how it compares side by side
My Cyclescheme voucher is waiting....

And then a smaller number of folks who know that Orange know there stuff and can ride a damn sight better than you.......
can ride a damn sight better than you
😀
that's not hard, I'm a fat slow old giffer
EDIT and it's Their not there stuff. If you are trying for indignation and outrage at least do it with the proper homophone, otherwise you just look a bit daft.
i promised myself that i would buy one of these, as a getting well again pressie, if i ever get well.
but, on seeing the picture i think i may change my mind.
the bandit 29r in far more pleasing to my expert eye........ 😉
The bandit was luvverly also....
Tazzy - you have found your perfect 'made up in your mind' orange rider just above....
What Ton? nah......he's a big soft lovely man he can ride what he want's and I'd still give him a cuddle 😀

FTFY, big fella. Get well. Do it.
I'd like a go on one of them. An Orange 29er that is, not a Ton. Looks absolutely horrendous, mind, but then I don't currently own any non-ugly bikes so what the heck.
fingers crossed flash. 😀
Ton, they're crossed for you here in Flash Towers as well. Do it. Go on. Do it. 🙂
