Going to get back in to biking after the new year, looking at used bikes with budget of around £1500. I previously had a zesty 314 I got for a steal but it was a bit big so I sold it.

I've been looking mostly at them and orange fives, what else should I be considering?

Mostly trail riding with some more hardcore stuff thrown in when I get confidence back.

As an Orange 5 owner I'd certainly be looking at one of them. It's been the most reliable bike I've ever owned, granted it was also the most expensive. It's just coming up 3 years old and the only thing I want to change it for is a carbon Santa Cruz Nomad in XTR guise, don't even know why I want one. I just do.

I like the 5, always have done. Tough decision.

A mate of mine is looking to sell a medium (17.5") Yeti 575 soon not sure how much he wants but it's a very nice bike in very good condition.
