i have a vision,and thAT vision and old skool purple turns heads and the bitches cream emseleves i kid you not pal 😀 😉

think apple green is one of their best colours

Hear hear

An Orange should be orange, otherwise it’s a lemon 🙂

I’d like one, but with coils both ends, burly wheels and super chunky tyres as a mini DH bike. I reckon Orange are missing a trick here, the patriot doesn’t quite do it (steeper, higher BB), the 322 does it a little bit too much.

funny you should say that as filming takes place this aft 😉 8)

soundtrack recomendations are welcome..

maybe doing madchester theme

Ton’s on the iDiet. He’s not allowed fruit of any colour. Especially Orange.

That’s just crazy talk. It’s got to be orange I tell you. They even offer two different shades of orange, for those that don’t have the nerve for neon. That tells you all you need to know 🙂

I’ll be honest. I’ve started to miss my old Alpine 160, looking back I think I was most confident on it.

2014 version I’ve really not liked, not a fan of the straight top tube at all. Hated it on the PAtriot too.

However! RDL-82… that actually looks stunning!

Ah ok.

Shaggmiester – Did you say that size frame is a 16″?

I’m 5’10”, think I could get away with the 16 too?

The 2010 Alpine I had was 16 but I had to have a layback thomson seat post which I hated. I’m hoping with the longer top tube I could get away with a 16 and normal post. Guess I’ll have to find a demo day somewhere.

why? – for selling a blue Santa Cruz Heckler?

loving the 1 word answers 🙂

**** me that Decathlon aint half a steal for cheapness for a young un to start on eh?

dropouts look same haha

Gsuperstar……What size have you gone for?

I’m 5`9” and not sure whether to get 16″ or 17”. I imagine not that easy to demo both sizes.

mojo – my inside leg is 32 and I’m just shy 5″10. I currently ride an Intense Tracer2 in medium at the top tube etc is pretty much exactly the same on the Alpine.

I’d check your current bike to see if the sizing is close also?

niceandy – No discounts anywhere but understandably as it’s a new frame and Orange still being a UK Company. My brother gets discounts through certain stores but none can offer Oranges ion the same scheme.

I did however go through Bike Treks and they’ve been super helpful in all questions so I can’t recommend them enough.

I did see that site I forgot, I wanted the invisiframe kit that bike treks offer.
Good deal for someone however.
