Only been out 2 minutes and already someone’s selling 😯

Will still have 2 year manufacturer warranty on it

Not sure about that.

Anyway, might be selling for any number of reasons.

No quicker than many on here, WTF is the Health and beauty rubbish in the link there for?

He’s also selling other parts that could be from the bike and his helmet, maybe he given up?

yeah, don’t know why the health & beauty links in the address. Potentially good deal for someone, especially as there was a post on here saying how there’s a few week backlog on ordering new alpine frames.

Frame warranty is indeed 2 years on the Alpine. For some reason it is 3 years on the Five and five years on most of the hardtails. However, it is not transferable.

Maybe computers have finally made filing cabinets unnecessary!

Maybe he caned it, is all broken (him not the frame) and needs money for the mortgage.

If you work in a bike shop you can make a tidy profit by ordering yourself the latest and greatest Whatever and breaking it for parts. Especially with an Orange that comes with Kashima, Hope, Mavic, Raceface etc… All stuff that sells well.

Harder to do with bigger brands that have a lot of own-brand kit on.

I did it with one of those ‘special edition’ black gold Fives that came out while I was doing a temporary stint in my mates shop. It paid for that winters riding trip.

Has a Fulford Cycles sticker on it, which is indeed an Orange dealer in York, so that checks out.

I was riding with the owner of Fulford last weekend so I could probably find the history if anyone really wanted to know.

However, it is not transferable.

Which was what I was referring to. Some unsuspecting buyer might buy it on the strength of that sentence.

I assume the seller never registered it with Orange?

Or its a staff bike, and they will sort you out should any issues arise.

nicked.

Wish it was a 17″ 😥

Wish it was a 17″

i’m sure it still has resale value.

Not nicked, not a staff bike. Turns out I was riding with the seller at the weekend.
