As you can see it is an Orange 5 Pro in Chrome Grey, 16" frame, Standard 2010 spec with pro pack which is Thomson stem and seat post, Fizik Gobi saddle and Easton Monkey Lite CNT bars, i got the Hope upgrade kit which is the floating rotors, seat skewer and rear wheel skewer, i also upgraded the bottom bracket and headset to Hope affairs. Got the bikeshop to swap the triple chainset for a double and bash and ditched the crap standard pedals for wellgo V8 copies, also swapped the standard wheels for my 27mm thick rim sunn equaliser that i had built after bending my dt swiss ones and ditched the thin grips for my favourite sunline logo thick grips. Bike rides superb..my 1st proper full bouncer.

Yeah, well i did have a Trek Y22 when they first came out, snapped 3 frames though so went back to hardtail, then got a Giant VT frame earlier this year, painted it and built it up, rode it 3 or 4 times...hated it and swapped the frame for the Cove i have on here. Wanted a good full susser so test rode a Trek Ex, Intense Tracer, Lapierre Spice and Zesty, Santa Cruz Heckler, the Orange 5 and a Cove...nothing felt as good as the Orange, every time i swung a leg over it i felt comfortable, 1st time i had it off road it gave me a huge boost in confidence. Does everything well. BUY ONE.
