    ahh but spending is so much fun and new stuff is ace.

    shame we used to get more for our money though. even the second hand market has started taking the piss.

    Well I just bought some brand new Fox 36 Vanilla R forks for £359, so there are still some bargains around. :)

    What price rises?................

    Just noticed on LeisureLakes web site that 2010 Oranges are cheaper than 2009!


    2009 5 SE £3399.95

    2010 5 SE £3299.95

    No difference in spec either.

    i did notice the 2010 crush seems particularly good. a year or so ago it might have looked pricey but considering everyone elses increases, its stands out as a nicely specced good looking quality bit of kit. the rims were more suitable on the 09 bike but the whole pricis only 20 quid more. pretty god against current trends in the bike market.

    now i never thought id say that about an orange bike!

    maybe now is the time to buy british?

    Ironically I guess British companies could compete better with imports in recession.

    Orange bikes have always been over-priced and under-specced for the money, so just because the prices haven't been hiked up this year doesn't make them any better value imo.

    Will wait for some other manufacturers 2010 prices to actually see if Orange are any better value this year

    I once dropped a 50 pence piece: it hit me on the back of the head.

    WTF! was it doing out of your pocket?
