Hi - i'm looking to buy either the pace 405 frame or an Orange 5 frame....however on the Orange site i can't find a weight for the Orange 5 frame (with or without shock).
Can any one tell me?
With only a 100 quid to choose between the two it's a tough one as they both ride so well.

    Have you tried them both out? One man's dream ride can be another man's ball-ache.

    I cant tell you the weight but both are outstanding bikes. I have the Orange my self and thinks its a brilliant bike. I have also blasted about Dalby Forset a few time on the Pace and enjoyed every minute. I am planning in getting a Sunn next though as after riding the thing I fell in love with it.

    The '07 18" Orange 5 frame & RP23 shock weighs 6.66lbs.

    The newer ('09) ones may not weigh the same as they use Reynolds tubing, if anything they should weigh less.

    Thanks for the info and opinions - plan on test riding similar builds of both frames back to back this week so will obviously decide based on that, but just want to work out how much heavier the Pace was.
    cheers all
