Orange 5 advice needed

Gavalar

Hi Guys

Right i am in need of some advice. I am looking for an Orange five frame and i have been offerd an old one (sub 5) i am aware that a few years ago Orange 5s where nearly at the the end of there life but with the new shock technology they got a new lease of life.

So if it bought this older frame is it only the shock that has change in recnt years or have other things changed? Is the geomotry of the frame changed?

Any advice would be useful.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice :P

After some more research i have found out that they are quite a bit differnt, so i am going to be a good boy a wait till the right one comes along

The old ones are still good, the changes are only fairly slight. Slightly different geo, big lighter, etc. I know a guy who has a fairly old sub 5 and still shreds on it, makes a lot of people on proper downhill bikes look stupid!
