Know quite a few people who work there, very impressive operation, I can remember when they were in a little shed...

Factory is about 500yrds from my house, all the lads who work there have custom orange 5 bikes supplied by Hope, free!!

There are probably numerous perks of working for Hope too. It's not all bad.

Very nice video to watch, kept me well entertained for the length, and i'm happy it wasn't like so many other videos 2 minutes long with just a few pictures.

Now I really want to work at Hope

You sure??? I reckon they are all out there, as a group, a hell of a lot....

bjj.andy.w

Well I'm guessing we were there on that day, they were at the start of hully gully filming as they were setting off to go down it.

How many of the management ride Oranges..... Anyone notice?

MountainMonster

I noticed it, Santa Cruz's among a few other brands, but didn't see an Orange on the higher up people.

you be ok just get them to agree in your contract to give you a light weight carbon road bike. like a timetrial bike you be super quick then.

All the Orange Five bashing amuses me. Personally I don't understand why people criticise other people’s bikes. I rode at Gisburn Forest yesterday on my Orange 5 and I now get a great sense of satisfaction from all the £3.5k+ Santa Cruz, Lappierre etc. bikes I overtook (both on the up’s and downs) travelling around at a snails pace.

Northwind

So you don't understand why people make comments on other people's bikes- except when it's you doing it?

MTBmaniac

Northwind, I didn't criticise anyone's bike in my post as I know Santa Cruz and Lapierre make good bikes. I was just making a point that my Orange Five does the job for me.

Oh, another believer in the power of Orange. I am so happy for you.. in fact, Members like FullySprung and JoshTP would be inspired by the likes of you... I bet you stand alongside your beloved Orange in front of a mirror with the Village People's "Macho Man" playing flat out

delcol

what do they say about work men and tools?

a bike is only as good as the person riding it,, if your fitter which you must be,. then you will overtake slower riders on whatever bike...

just keep checking that 5 for cracks,... :P
