    The electrical tape spoils it I think

    From a local Trek dealer, I think he fancied a change.

    Lack of knowledge though, or just poor (from their point of view) warranty policy?

    No, just bloody good customer service.

    No they are average. Companies like Boardman and Canyon are just extremely cheap.

    1/50th. Hand held. No flash. Cold FoD, great Xmas ride with the boys. Pub afterwards. Excellent start to Christmas. What have you taken?

    That is one seriously noisy photo, what did you take it with, a daguerreotype?!

    Nothing wrong with the price of the Orange. There are bikes around that price with worst or the same kit.

    As for the frame being generic, most are.

    There will always be brands like Boardman and Canyon etc that have better kit for the money, but what really matters is how it fits/rides.

    If you like it buy it.

    Good choice. Massive range on a 10 speed cassette, you really only need one ring up front.

    WTF are you doing Willber? 😆

    Push the pistons in carefully with a ring spanner or something thats not going to kill them.

    Put the wheel in.

    Loosen the bolts enough so the caliper moves freely.

    Pump the brake and hold it on.

    Do up bolts and thats it.

    If it didn’t work, repeat the last 3 steps until it does.

    With all due respect you can hardly call this a review. Its your bike and you just spent your cash on it, you are hardly going to say its crap.

    I bought an orange 5 a few week ago, it came with 100mm standard forks, I think
    I think it’s a standard size for the fives.

    You spent that much on a bike and you don’t even know how much travel its got?

    140mm by the way.

    Better off buying a CD/MP3 player for it surely?

    I’ve used EBC pads for years and never had any issues whatsoever.

    They stage a WC DHI race and have BIG hills. I’m sure there will be plenty of decent riding for you to enjoy, or skiing/snowboarding depending what time of year you plan on going.

    Google Leogang, there are plenty of vids.

    I quite like On One, I own a 456, but there is no way I would pay 5k for one, no matter what spec it was.

    too much bike for most the riding I do in the UK.

    I was wondering if it was a bit much myself. What forks do you run? On the website it says 66 degree HA but I can’t find what A2C they based this on.

    Flow seems like a nice chap and a great rider – we could learn a lot!

    I expect most people on here are in person TBH, forums are funny things.

    I bought a new Ford Fiesta for my wife in 2006, we still have it now. Its not really worth selling at the price they go for second hand now, plus its been really reliable.

    I was looking forward to it too, seems like hes off the bike though reading that thread.

    I saw the vid he posted a while back when I was a merely lurker (probably getting on for a year infact) He is actually pretty damn good.

    I have been thinking the same but after some research I decided against it. My wallet has been raped enough as it is, I’m not sure if it could handle any more.

    really… not what orange say

    Its revised geometry gives a shorter reach and reduces back strain for a smaller female physique. Plus the specification of women friendly components tops off the package.

    ah but wait they do look the same in the specs chart hmmmm

    The description is for the 14″ short. The 14″ Long is the same as a 14″ mens, for obvious reasons..

    No they are exactly the same
