PinkBike’s coverage has been rubbish this year. The Orange thread from last night was entertaining though as the tired old jokes from people who’ve never ridden/seen an Orange in real life met with some resistance from those that had.
See how much fun you can have on an old CX bike on singletrack then think about what’s essential. You’ll always be at the limit of tyres, brakes, comfort, gearing – but boy you’ll have so much fun. It’ll also sharpen up your MTB skills and be cheap.
I was going to ask that question too. I figured it out and have been looking at the Cotic site. Looks great in a bright colour. Pity no UK-made ones at the moment.
