Morning all 
Well, after months of hunting Ebay for deals and countless daft questions (sorry chaps :oops: ) I finally collected my Orange 5 last night from my friend who has build it for me. And it's GORGEOUS
I have some pics which i'll post in the 'my bikes' thread later. The bikes at the bike shop this morning to get the rear brake bled (apparently this was a nightmare to fit
), collected this afternoon and *hopefully* the maiden trip tonight! Can't wait!
I was very worried about the frame size and, whilst it IS really small, so am I :? I could have gone a bit bigger, but it certainly doesn't look weird and if anything should make the bike more easy to throw around.
I am dead pleased with myself (and extremely grateful to my friend for putting it together for me!)
