[Closed] That's a nice present for the weeked... a new bike 🙂

very nice! Looks like they have beefed the rear end up somewhat. Whats the geo like?

Apparently it's the same. The stays are different, look a bit beefier. The shock link on the down tube is quite meaty as well. Weighs about 6.5lbs for the 18 so it's not especially light. Don't mind about that tho if it rides like the old one without the flex.

I'm not having a pop at Orange. Lots of people are happy with theirs. Mine had a few issues from the off and they've been superb in the way they've handled it.

Jesus Alex you're slipping, you've had a bike long enough to claim on a warranty - think of the economy!

I resemble that remark Bruce 🙂 Worryingly this is the only bike I have that is less than a year old. Times are hard!

Very nice, it would be my frame of choice if i ever get rid of the blue pig (unlikely)

Funnily enough I rode a mate's mmmbop (briefly) and it felt like the ST4 but as a hardtail. I so nearly bought one of those as well.

And you're already on the beers - life in the country suits you 😆

Looks nice but unsure about the wobbly shock/seatpost link/mount 😯

I'll ride it Sunday and report back..

Nice.
Hope it rides as well as the old one.
