edited January 2011 in MTB buying advice
Hi all, new to the forum, been reading for a while now and learnt allot, but now i've got to the point of acutally buying my first mtb. I've narrowed my search down to 3 bikes, and i can't decide.
Kona cinder cone 2010 (cheapest)
Orange G3 2011
Orange Pure 7 2011 (expensive)
I can't find any info or ownership on the pure 7 at all on the webb and the other two bikes seem to be recieved quite well. Does anyone own any of these bikes, if so can you advice me on weight and ride quality.

My usage will be trips out xc and trails and occasional road ridding.

Thanks in advance

    Orange are very good bikes but i do think they're abit overpriced interms of what you get for that money on some models.

    Thats the price you pay for buying british.

    impulsive or what, just been to orange factory in halifax and delt with a top bloke called Ben. Managed to by the test P7 S that was reviewed on this site last year, the one with the recon fork. excellent condition, advertised at £799 got it for £700 bargain i think!!!!!

    if anyone is interseted they had a 2010 g3 up for £549 that was in excellent codition too.
