Does anyone know whether Orange are including the Crush frame in their 2013 range?

    Try emailing Orange. They might know best

    I'd be keen to know this too! Might be in the market ;)

    I see they have some of the 2013 models on Stif already.

    I rang orange at the start of Aug. Traditionally they have thier Crush's out around July but no sign of it then. When I rang them that said start of September. I've been an Orange Customer for 5 years now (had a new Crush nearly every year). They've sent me one as pre-order. Hopefully get it on Friday :)

    I know we've been told that the brakes and forks are being 'downgraded' for the 2013m.y., but is there any clue as to what fork they're going to be using?

    Only the stock bike will be downgraded (actually, as per 2012). The good forks (and now brakes) will become an optional upgrade :)

    That is insanity personified. A new bike every year of the same type when the bike doesnt change year on year! A company's dream customer.

    The bike has gone from 1000 quid in 2008 to 1500 quid in 2013 with lower or identical range components - thats inflationary pressure right there. Call it a 8% increase per year. I am not saying Orange are worse than others for this by the way.
