But only because I rid this:

I've just taken delivery of an Orange Five S with an upgrade pack including Hope H/S and hubs, carbon MonkeyLite bars, Shimano MX-30 pedals (best pedals in the world bar-none!) and an upgraded rear Fox shock. I've not even ridden it yet as I've ordered several sheets of PaintShield (3M) through work on the cheap to protect the white paint work. Need to ditch the OEM Rock Shox fork though, as Rock Shox are naff and can't with stand much abuse (I've broken 3 in the past)



This is to compliment my Orange MsIsle which I built front scratch - Marzocchi Drop-Offs, D521s on Hope hubs with Tioga Factory DH 2.3s, Azonic stem, bars and seat post, Hope H/S, MRP chain device, RaceFace cranks and BB (titanium splined spindle), MX-30 pedals, Shimano XT rear mech/cassette and Hope rear disc (front brakes are for little girls)
Only 250.1bhp - but with that noise, who cares?

Mile-muncher ordered: MkVI 1.6 TDi BlueMotion Match DSG with leather, winter pack, luxury pack, fogs, climate control, Dynaudio pack, RCD510 with DAB & MDI, flat tyre indicator

It's the Lapierre Zesty 214, only the entry level but it was at a price I couldn't say no too.

My mate has got a Orange 5 AM 2011, nice bike for going down hills on but quite hard going up them due to the seat position. Defo get the Fox's for the front.

I find riding to work and back very stress relieving, no traffic jams etc. I do a 40 mile round commute everyday and love it. Save a fortune on fuel too!

My main MTB is a cotic soul i stripped and sprayed orange, had brown cotic decals made up by the guy who does cotics decals to finish.

Spec is:
xtr groupset with yumaya upgrades
juicy 7 brakes
hope pro 3 wheelset (24 spoke 3 bolt discs)
brown chris king headset
sid world cup forks
thomson stem & seatpost
brown charge spoon saddle
Easton ea70 bars
shimano dx flats or xtr spds
ti bolts throughout
currently running retro onza aggro skinwall tyres!

I love it

my next project is a 1950's Raleigh which I want to paint pea green and deck with chrome and a brown brooks :-)

Old school mate and some-time riding partner of mine now rides for Kona.
Only 250.1bhp - but with that noise, who cares?

All your bikes put mine to shame, lol.. I've got a Carrera Banshee X '09, If I knew what I know now then I probably would've spent more and got something with suspension lock or just front suspension





Specs:
Avid Juicy 3 Hydraulic disc brakes
Truvativ Firex 3.0 Chainset
BRABO-375 MARZOCCHIE 33R 140mm
ROCKSHOX ARIO 2.1
Mavic XM317 rims with Conti Speed Kings
SRAM X5 Front Mech
SRAM X7 Rear Mech

All standard, all I've added is cosmetic stuff:
Blackspire Big Ring Protector C4
Topeak Defenders
Cateye computer and lights
