PICS OF YOUR ORANGE 5 PLEASE

drookitmunter – is that Plasma Blue or Powder Blue? Looks great!

Cheers, it’s plasma blue. I had a choice of that red or black as the standard colours when I bought it. I know a guy who bought a black one but the paint faded really badly

Hmmmmm, totally shite thread this 🙂

I sold my ’07 Five in October last year but I’m sorely tempted to buy another and this thread is not helping.

@jarmin, that looks mint!!

@orangewinger, what colour is that?

Really tempted by the Black Cherry colour but no idea what it looks like in the flesh. My old Five was silver so thought I’d go for something different……..if I was to buy another that is 🙂

@KingOfBiscuits – that’s just plain black

mine’s an 08, but looking at this post, it’s too old to fire up a pic… 8)

Oh go on then…

@KingOfBiscuits – that’s just plain black

Not so, the black cherry is as it suggests, black with a hint of cherry in certain lights. Bloody lovely it is too.

Here’s mine. 2009 upgraded last year with 10sp groupo, DT forks, new decals and other bits.

It’s probably my aspergic side coming to the fore, but how can you buy a bike with “orange” written on the side in any other colour? Just wrong!

mojo5pro – Norland moor I reckon !?

(An orange testing ground) I’m envious of your forks 44 RC3’s ?

Missed the bargain on the 150’s at CRC last week by hesitating

Yep, it’s good ol’ Norland. Close with the forks, they’re 55’s though not 44’s…and they are brill! 😀

thats why my choice of pedals, stem, bars and seat clamp had to be orange!

Not mine but sure he won’t mind- 2011 model

Agree on the orange Orange idea. When I got my latest one second had I really wanted a orange new one. Was going to get mine repainted orange but tbh I couldn’t justify the cost as my paint’s still in good nick. Will get a new one in the next couple of years and that’ll defo be neon orange, probably with blue Hope finishing kit.

My 2009 five high above Arc 2000 with mont blanc in the distance 🙂

Ahh go on then

Lovin this thread… Here’s mine after the Passporte last year..

Creamegg !,whats that Cane Creek shock like?

They all have those horrible SDG trail centre warrior saddles. They ruin a perfectly good bike.

Heres my 2012 Sinbad purple. It now has White Rev RCT 3 and Fatbars fitted

Sorry pretty sure mine isnt a SDG, I could be wrong though.

@reedspeed… well worth the money if you can afford it. I didn’t get on with the RP23 at all. Just didt feel right.

You’re right, its not. I must have missed that one. Its just as bad though!

Ok I will stick the spare Brooks Swift I have on it then 🙄

You may aswell. You’ve got the triple chainset to go with it to. A classic touring bike setup.

Don’t know why is it so small?

perhaps you’re a grower not a shower

sorry its not a close up but here is mine on its hols in cyprus and know its not fake tan ha ha

chestrockwell – How you finding the forks? mine seem to have no small bump compliance 🙁

Mine are superb Shorty and much better over small stuff then my old Floats. Sounds like you need to mess about with the settings a bit. Can’t remember exactly which dial does what but there’s one that really effects the small bump ride. Do you have the the set up guide that came with the forks? I’m a numb head but managed to set mine up using the information supplied with the forks.

Here’s my 2012 17″ finally finished in a spec i’m happy with (apart from an xt shifter which will replace the slx one this weekend). Back on spd’s for longer rides at the moment but it’s usually got some point one podium flats fitted. Rest of spec pretty obvious.

Loving being back on a Five, so glad they went ahead and released the new size as it fits me perfectly, was in between sizes before.

chestrockwell – singleshot dampner just seems reall hard to push in

Ah, mine are twin shot so are different to set up. Even so,I’m sure you’ll find the right balance with some tinkering.

I’ll try letting some air out or taking it all apart.

Not mine but soon…
