The Orange Bikes web site has been off line for a couple of days, I don't know if that's a bad sign or part of a re-jig of their operations.

Yeah, I'd notice that too - not sure what to read from it.

Must confess I bobbed in to look for bargains

The web site is back up and showing some decent offers with prices being more where the ought to be in order to be tempting.

...I quite fancied an EVO frame to stash away until I noticed they all seem to be 27.5

My Alpine Five (outside Skiddaw House, Lake District), love it - the nicest bike I've ever owned

My son’s outgrown his Mega TR and test rode a new Mega at Llandegla as a potential replacement. He found it a bit numb so had a go of my Four too. He loved it and with no prompting from me (honest!) he asked me to find one for him. One turned up on Facebook for £650 which I thought was decent value and we picked it up this week. We are now a 2x4 household.

That looks great and its always nice to hear of youngsters getting into Orange!

It's often said by some on here, usually those who love the added complication of multi link bikes, that Orange are an 'old blokes' bike but I was in our local woods last week and there were 4 lads all early 20's, two had brand new high end Orange full sussers (Evo?) and the other had a Santa Cruz and one had a spesh.

They Orange lads were really into the brand so it's nice to know they do have a following with young riders.
