Not keen on 5's, never have been but, having said that, I've never ridden one!
Don't think I've ever seen a 29er 5 in the flesh!

I like it I bet it laughs at rock gardens. The bike does I don't I scream .... At them normally when I'm crashing ... Or falling off...

Errr yes ... Well as you were nice about my old girl ... I had always liked orange 5's ..like the looks well enough and yours does look good in black... But was disappointed when I rode the 650b at a recent demo day.. I'm only telling it the way it is...

I'm only telling it the way it is... fair play mate they are wot they are , a real marmite bike , some people luv em some hate em To be fair I'm not that keen on the 650b , yes it turns quicker , but I've rode my mates and I feel like I'm going over the bars .. seems to low at the front.

Well little update new stem fitted 50mm Thomson Took it out on a 29mile loop last nite and really like the way the front end felt much better not so vague .. plus moved the seat 5mm more forward .. Feels a lot more balanced. And planted at the front now .

Ordered the same stem and matching bars... I've only just noticed your seat has quite a downward angle on it... Have you felt what it's like when you've got it level?

Never been an Orange fan, but having seen Burton's Orange in the flesh yesterday it is an impressive looking machine. An Orange and a 29er I wouldn't have given a second look to a few months back but sometimes you have to hold your hands up and say you are wrong. Still needed bloody sunglasses though with all the kashima bling

Cheers Burton but a bit of red here and there is all the bling I do these days - you should have seen my Cube HT though....would have burnt the retinas out of your head...
