Good question Steve ...I don't have an answer to that ...
However if I was one of the owners of the company I would be less than happy with the Pinkbike review....or more specifically the picture of the rider ...he looks a right gormless git and can't be doing the brand any favours ..lol

Hodgy This made my day on from Astley "Adding complexity to solve an engineering problem doesn’t equate to advanced engineering. Having the ability to solve an engineering problem while implementing a simple solution does. If you can make a single pivot design work then why would you choose another solution?"
Simple is what makes Orange great not the best but just work hassle free !

Do what my wife does when she comes back from shopping...."don't worry it wasn't expensive. It was only a tenner in the sales".
I am always amazed what she can get for a tenner.

For once Steve ...I wasn't having a go at the brand or the bike but the rider...
By the look of things ...he's already sold one of his nuts ..image sells ..and that's not a good image !

It must be only me who doesn't like any of those photos! They just look weird...but that's just me!
I would keep my money or go on holidays!
Ps- I should mention that I actually like Orange's and even considered a Four before

im with jack on this.use the same tactic as womens clothes buying. just buy it, put it in the garage/shed. when she says, "is that a new bike" just say, "mmmm?  .....nah iv had it ages" |

That looks cracking - love it in the gray. Looks way better with the sculpted top tube.
WTF is wrong with the guy riding it though?? Has he entered a gurning contest or forgotten his meds?

It's strange how people all see things differently to each other. The reviewer calls the 5's swing arm a ' beautiful piece of engineering' to me, it's that that would stop me owning an orange. Shallow I know, the Alpine's swing arm is loads better.

Seriously WTF is going on with this guy??  I wonder why the Alpine uses a different top tube design to the Five? The one on the Five looks well nice - the Alpine looks like scaffolding still.... |

I get ...oh my mam treat me to this ... Or " this old thing ..I've had it for ages " Not the best guy to do a photo shoot with , poor sales marketing IMOH But they is pretty ... Ive spent far to long trying to come up with a devious plan on removing one of my bikes and owning another the problem is i love my 26" Five and for the same spec as mine has id be loosing close to £4700 ,and looking on pinkbike and ebay last years Alpines 2016 are now going for £2400 for rs and factory spec second hand ,i think i will bide my time and watch wait and lurk in the auction shadows ready to pounce/fall off the marital wagon |
