Hi,

Im Alex Higgins from Orange bikes Uk, new to this forum, thought it would be useful to see what people thought of our bikes..

So what are your opinions on our current 07 series?

Regards,

Alex

    Are they as loud as previous years? Why is there only a years warranty on such expensive frames? Oh and the new Patriots look much better.

    Why are they on the whole not, infact, orange?

    Sometimes it overheats. You have to make sure it's in a ventilated place all the time.

    Are you really Alex Higgins of Orange Bikes UK, or are you actually an imposter trying to gain "instant" e-cred by pretending to be someone in the industry?

  • As far as the colours go, we wanted a bit of variety in the design to attract more customers, although we have plans to start some special editon models availiable in a perscealent (sp?) orange. The 07 models are much quiter, as far as the warrenty goes its our standard warranty, and im afraid i cant properly answer your question, as i dont know the answer.. , Oh and i agree the new patriots look nicer , even though i am biased [;)]

    Could you make a bike entirely out of cake, like in that Skoda advert?

    Yes, i work for Orange Bikes UK, marketing and design, created an account so that i can get some more feadback on our latest designs and how they can be improved, if they can that is.. So im afraid your theory there is wrong [:D]

    Why don't you have purple bikes? If you did I would totally buy one. Right now.

    If you wanted proper feedback, why the hell have you made a topic in the Sandbox?

    Have to say i have never been a huge fan of orange when seeing them in pictures on the web. But in real life 'tis a different matter.. maybe they're just not very photogenic.. maybe its just me.

    anyways to answer your question i think the new line are lookin good, good to see you've kept the union flag on the 224 cos it looks awesome. Shall have to roll by the lbs and have a look at them at some point.

    Not sure id ever buy one tho

    and thats enough of a sensible post for the 'box... i like this <u><font color="blue">patriot</u></font id="blue">
