You know you're exceeding expectations when people from Melbourne are saying your weather is fubar.

It's getting a bit boring.

I’ve always felt that Orange frames are a bit overpriced, though other big brand alloy Taiwanese made frames really aren’t much cheaper, and at least Orange are 100% hand made…
But it’s a bit hard for me to swallow the Switch 7, as much as I think it would be a fantastic bike to try.

The difference being you can get your new filing cabinet, whereas Specialized are sold-out/ pre-sold for the next 12 months

6.5k for an ugly alloy Orange frame and shock

What else comes with the frame, full build kit with AXS ?

Honest to goodness, I emailed Stanton earlier, checking in on my frame ETA, and asked them if they’d called the lawyers in yet.

I put it in the Stanton owners group on Facebook expecting an uproar….all I really got was some muppet saying the only similarity was part of the name and that the Orange was a single pivot. I almost deleted the post after that….

Yep. I suspect, with no evidence, it’s a very low numbers, one off model. They’ve done linkage bikes occasionally before in very short runs.
