    They have been making mountain bikes in Yorkshire for 20+ years and have a very good rep :mrgreen:

    I'd avoid the carbon road bike, seems to be one of the FM028 variant frames from China with a nice(r) paint job.

    Entry level generic carbon frame with a ridonkulos price tag.

    I have an Orange mountain bike that is fantastic, but I'd steer well clear of their road bike if I were you. I expect they just spotted a "mountain-biker-who-has-money-burning-a-hole-in-his-pocket-and-fancies-a-road-bike" shaped hole in the market and decided to plug it pronto and on the cheap.
