Big Grin too happy with the new Alpine
I've to dial in the 36 some more, but the rear suspensions feels even better then my Alpine 160 with CCDB

Hi, i am hesitating about buying a new bike. I came across the 2017 Orange Clockwork 100 (frame only). My budget is maximum 2000. I am thinking about buying the frame and build it up myself (Reba RL, XT 2x11, Mavic Crossride, Race face). But I can't find a lot of reviews of the Clockwork, also I don't see a lot of pictures about people having them. Why?

Does anyone have a clockwork 100, and are you liking it? I am mainly using it in the Netherlands, that means: flat and not so technical. That's why I am looking for the 100 and not the 120 (I want 29 inch). I will build it up as a XC bike with 100 mm (is 120 possible?) of travel, when I am in austria I maybe install a dropper.

Soooo, are there any good reviews of the Clockwork 100?
I have also read sometime about poor paint quality, is this true or not?
I would prefer a 120 mm fork, is this possible or not? (site says 100 but maybe someone has a clockwork with 110/120 mm of travel).

do you think it's a smart buy for me, or should I just buy a normal XC bike (a Orange is more exotic is gues)?

Thanks!

I have skimmed through your comment, I would say you'd get better value for money buying a complete for sure

thanks (sorry for the bad english). I also think that I have better components if I buy a complete bike. I have already looked at something like a Scott scale 940. But something more special like a Orange is also really atractive...

My XC bike is a 2013 Scale 950, and I rate it. Only issue was the crappy wheels, I mange to tace both of them with in a year. It's a light bike and fun to ride.
Might also be worth looking at canyons? Orange are quite expensive compared to them...

That's really interesting. I have the 2014 Alpine too - superb bike. What changes did you make to fit 27.5 in there and how does it ride? What sort of size rear tyre can you fit in? I know the swing arm is only 6mm longer on the 2015 Alpine.

Hey dude! I agree 2014 Alpine is just great.. I point down and the bike does everything.. I'm running 2.40 tyres front and rear and set it up on position 2 according to:
https://www.orangebikes.co.uk/archive/2014/alpine-160_rs/

With the original rear shock (Fox RP23) it gave me a 5mm clearance between tyre and frame when the shock was empty and fully compressed.. So, from my point of view that's good enough to run the 27.5" tyres!
I must admit I don't ride like a pro, but the bike suits my riding style (steep, exposed, scary, loose rocky terrain) the bike performs superb going down and also going up..
