Orange Crush 07

ste_t

Hi guys. Here is my Orange Crush which I bought new in 08. Granted it can make steep climbs a bit of a nightmare but the bike is far better than I am on the way back down! I've had more than my fair share of spectacular offs, but she's stood up to a beating with no problem at all.

The only thing I've actually upgraded is the grips to odi lock ons, but now I'm looking at (admittedly unnecessary,) bling bits. Any recommendations? I'll get more pics up when I have shiny new bits added!

Lovely. My favourite Crush frame of all time tis that......

How about some splatterings of either gold or red?

Cheers! I was so glad I got it before they turned all skinny, the newer ones just don't look so aggressive.

I think I can get away with more red than I could with gold, so that may be the way to go.... but then again, I do love the look of this
