I think I'd agree. It's all very white with little other visuals making it look a bit plain.

Also with a name like Cubist, you must get a cube

I've bought more than ten of them so far.... and my next Cyclescheme bike may be a Peloton......

But I live two miles from the Orange factory by bridlepath, and ther's a bit of Orange soul going on around here! I remember one of the Halifax Community Constables blagging a free Orange hardtail in the late 80's/early 90's, and always liked the brand.

The KCNC superlight chain costs 72 quid in 10 speed and a bit less in 9 speed..........

I'd have agreed right up until riding the rocky raised singletrack at Dalby on Saturday. You HAVE to pedal, and sitting down even high volume tyres and padded shorts didn't help. Even Cubester declared he would like a susser after that torture. Also the rocky descents on the Ae Line just about convinced me my old bones deserve a bouncer.

thanx fella

I've got to agree with one of the above posts, a sexy bike can be a great bike, but the cost of replacing parts... you just can't put cheap replacements on a good bike. It's sacrilegious!

Although I also agree that the bike looks cool. If you could post later on how it performs that would be awesome.

Steep rocky descents, the geometry is beautiful, not only do I go over the bars less than with my hardtail, I actually feel less like I am about to go over the bars.

Ok then Orange it is.
But please, make it an ORANGE not a WHITE

Howzabout green, or pearl black?

dunno about that, but if it's white, it should be a Whyte

If you get green my wife will come and steal it, is it small enough for someone 5" 2' ?

I got me one of them... and they're absolutely AWESOME... bombproof. They're incredibly forgiving of stupid mistakes and they go over anything. As for colour... hell, you can customise the colour of the frame and the rims to your heart's content. They're super sexy in a hardcore, rough around the edges kind-of way, the Vinnie Jones of the biking world. And give me that rough and handsome look over a pretty-boy Lapierre ANY day of the week. Take a demo out and you'll be blown away

 

[lady_rider]

As for 5"2, they come in a 14.5 inch short reach, perfect for short a£$ses :-)

£72?

I have been running the 9 speed version of these with no problem. Not only are they half the price, pretty much the same weight, KMC being the world's largest chain manufacturer is kind of comforting.

I also wonder if KCNC make those chains themselves, not least because they don't list them in their own website.

Me too. There's something about Orange bikes and Kona too, particularly the ones from the early to mid 1990s. There was something exciting about both of those brands, I always thought they were far cooler than any other makes.


How much did I want a Kona Explosif man!
