The five diva seems the right geometry for me.
I am not a 'diva'.
I am not female.
I AM JUST BUILT LIKE A SHORT WEASEL!!!
I really want to take that MBR guy and make him do a blind test with a tapered steerer fork and a stepped down standard steerer fork, see if he can tell any difference
I'd like to know the result!
Not to doubt that it'll be a great bike of course, it definately will be.

I own two bikes - one is made from some old scaffold poles found in a skip in Doncaster, and the other is a cheap Enduro knock-off. Yet both of these bikes come with full length outers. So why not the Five? A small detail, that would drive me mad - and seriously make me think twice about buying one. (i suppose a psychologist would say i have an OCD or something)

dont forget you need the maxle rear end, and the brakes arent the most powerful, so upgrade them to m4's and the fox forks lack control, so you need the optional FIT model
I'm sure that are good bikes and all, but to me, they just seem a bit overhyped and ugly enough to make small children sick. Oh, not to mention overpriced (like all of Oranges offerings).
