Orange Crush

Crush after a bath.
36 Talas, Chromag bars, Straitline stem/pedals, Hope X2 brakes, Pro2 Evo/Mavic EX721, Schwalbe HD/NN.
Mish-mash drive.... Zee mech, XT 11-36 cassette, SLX cranks, XTR shifter, SRAM chain, RaceFace NW 32t.
GD post, 2" drop (I also have a 4" inside tube but I think it needs 3" if I can get one), Charge Scoop.

Had my alpine RS for about 5 months now and love it. Typical high Orange quality and handles anything thrown at it so far. I put some F20 pedals on it as I wasn't impressed with the grip on the standard ones that came with the bike.

Not sure where to get a demo but on the Orange website they do advertise demo days. I know they have brought out the 27.5 wheels for the 2015 model which is out next month but I'm a 26er all day long (call me old fashioned lol)

i'm of the opinion 'if its not broke....' too but with the option being there I was wondering if anyone had any time on one as I know they had a demo one at BPW the other month.

its a daft post really I suppose as its one of those personal opinion things...

Spent some time on a 26" one of my friends & fell in love right away, with plans of traveling next year I wanted too build a bike up over the winter...

Thanks tup

My newly built up machine. This thing is a beast. The saddle is one I had lying around, it's horrible, so will probably be replacing it with something a little easier on the eyes and arse.

Nice Crush. Here's a quick pic of mine. Just stripped it today, ready to send off to Orange for a re-spray. Not sure what colour yet though. Love the new blue, but also reckon green would look good, to m[PI= size=l0 align=c][/PI][L=][/L][PV=]

The new blue would be a good choice and go with your yellow wheel well.
