nice bike, however some of the parts don't match up. XC chainset on an all mountain bike doesn't seem to be the best choice.

very ncie ride, some of the parts dont seem to match up though really (float rear shock and xc chainset with talas 36 forks)
DoctorBobrick replied... on 5 December 2008
Aaah, didn't realise that was how Orange stocked it :/
Those Talas are mint forks though, near every review Ive read says theyre the best forks on the planet lol
phildtucker replied... on 19 November 2008
When offered Oranges' own 5 which has been ridden 6 times at a fraction of a new one i'm not gonna argue the forks aren't as specced, bit heavier but bloody awesome. Rant over ;)
