Apologies for the very amateur photography on my smart phone and there is slight misrepresentation in the photos the badge appears to say orange its just because its a VGA camera actually says lemon when not pixelated.

Still some black superstar nanos and some black bender fenders as well to come in the post.

All it needs is a dropper post and your sorted. Ive a 2013 Alpine and it just sticks to the trail.

Honest opinions what colour mucky nuts and nanos should I put on, having second thoughts about them being orange???

Blue maybe? Green and blue seem to go well

or black pedals as well not sure :?

Black pedals and mucky nuts. Coloured pedals always look crap with a bit of wear.

mike hunts alpine

Black it is then

Some slightly better photos after a few rides and invisiframe protection kit added. (Still no nanos or mucky nuts yet though).

What's up with it?

I think he is referring to it as a Lemon rather than an Orange, so the usual Orange haters can't hunt him down.
