If I’d bought an Orange Five 3 months ago I’d be peeved right now,
You buy your bike with it’s resale value in mind?
I actually did something like this and I’m a bit miffed to be honest. They finally offer something to taller riders, a 22″ frame, which I jumped on and bought. The next year release a whole host of far more interesting things appear.
I’ve genuinely never seen another 22″ Five or anyone expressing the slightest interest in one. Now there’s a 29er and 650b model I can’t see why they would either. Curiously I’d seen it as a brand that would hold it’s resale, as it’s not changed in years, then it changes.
Oops.
Not that it hugely matters, its top fun anyway. It’s about the one time I’ve splashed out though, usually get things on the cheap.
