Nice bike, I really like the look of 29er fives. The bigger wheels really suit the five frame.

I personally think 5's are butt ugly, mine included... But if you buy a 5 you're not buying it for the looks!

I suppose the back end could be described as agricultural,but why change a winning formula? can you imagine the uproar there`d be if orange unveiled a new five with a more conventional swing arm design?

OMG it'll be the end of the world as you know it!... Being an engineer, IMO, I don't think there's a more easily maintainable machine, out there, which is something I look for... My carbon zesty bearings and linkages always required attention..

Good idea, but I have to admit something, I just disliked, one of your posts to see what happened, and then re-liked your post... But the dislike remained... Sorry buddy!
