Surely the front depends on fork choice?

Production Privée's Steel-Framed Shan N°5 - Review
Tell me about it, when I bought mine a couple of months back it really was a case of read what was on PP’s website, measure a loads of bikes for comparison and hope I got it right, i’m still not sure I got it 100% right but it’s too late now

Production Privée's Steel-Framed Shan N°5 - Review
Having gone from an older Orange Five to a PP, I know which I prefer but I can’t give a fair comparison as I went from older 36 forks to RFX 34 and a host of other changes which give the PP and unfair advantage. I’ve demoed a few of the new Oranges but they weren’t 100% set up for me, I would have liked to adjust the tokens/spacers in the forks/shock a lot more to try and get the bike better matched to my riding. So a slightly unfair comparison but from my experience the PP is quicker and grips better.

That “stupid yoke” makes a massive difference to the suspension curve, having modeled mine it’s one of the more linear single pivot frames out there, sure you can tune the shock around the frame but in my opinion the shock should be tuned to meet the rider’s needs not compensate for the suspension curve of the frame, but what do I know.

And boy does the Shan No. 5 grip, I’ve yet to find the limit on mine and I’ve a scary feeling that it’s going to hurt when I do.

I don’t notice the extra few pounds when riding my Shan No. 5 only lifting it on and off the bike rack and I can live with that.

Except the routing means you still have to remove the brakes caplier from the hose to install/remove it from the bike. The annoying thing is having spent ages staring at my frame I can’t think of a better way to route the cables around the suspension pivots. Still how often do you need to change the rear brakes, knowing my luck mine will probably brake now, pun not intended
