They will be bragging about how its made by Mercedes and how its the highest quality bike you can get. No it isn't its made in Taiwan (no disrespect to Tiawanese people's work) by a company with no affiliation at all to Merc and the only reason you payed so much for it is because the company need to pay the rights for using Merc's name on their bikes...

I would have lost a lot of respect for Orange if they did because they kept on using the single pivot even though all these new linkages were much more advanced, and they didn't sell out and design a linkage suspension. Hopefully, they will have another pure single-pivot for their next bike....

yeah they bumped up the price of the 224 by 500 squid

bang for buck it should be around 1200-1300 mark compared to other offerings in the single pivot market from this island
