Aw sliding dropouts too!:)

Shedobits 2009 Orange Five. There is a thread re this posted to day but as I'm rubbish with computers I can't do links.:rolleyes: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/2009-orange-five.494460/

I've had this a few years now bought from Madmax of this parish. It's undergone several "rebuilds" and is currently being tried as a 69er, I've measured the swing arm but I have to admit it wont fit a 27.5 at the rear. So far I'm enjoying the current build especially in rock gardens. Here's some...

I was based in West Berks but my job took me all over the country. I kept a Lava Dome single speed in the boot so I tried to ride after work as much as I could, (healthier than solo drinking in the hotel bar on expenses). I had quite a library of MTB ride books plus "tear out maps" from the...

I don't miss Britain much but today I do. I've kept all of my OS maps and routes too.

How did it work out, what make did you use? Wanting to make my SS look leaner / cleaner. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Not finished yet but it now sports a shorter stem with the fugly remote lockout fitted, whilst 30 20 gearing seems to work for me. Still to come will be a carbon bar. Here's some recent pictures.

^^^^ will do Max, currently experimenting as a 69er but don't tell the good people of Halifax as they'll burn me in efagy once the pubs close. ;) P.S. it rides great ---- it was always was anyway.

I did a XC race from here about 10 years ago and always promised myself to ride some of it again only slower this time. I found 32 X 18 a bit too spinny today but when are you ever in the right gear? Here's some pics from today.

....and that very same 2009 five is still doing great service here in Spain.:)

I wish I hadn't asked now.;)

Great thread about a great bike, looking forward to updates. I'm interested to know anything more you can remember about the Sub3 as I'm currently running one as a single speed.

That looks great, if you ever hear of another one let me know. PS what does it weigh?

No fruit at this time of year but I have a plan for when there is. :cool:

The originals were made by Litespeed, later they added an extra support to reinforce the brake area, (this is the best one to buy). Still later the Ti frames were made by Van Nicholas. I guess they started selling these about 2007 but can't remember when they were withdrawn. I've ridden the...

I've had this for some years now, but always as a geared bike with a long fork. All of my previous Single speeds have been hardtails or solids so this was a bit of a departure for me. Full disclosure, I had to push/walk much of that hill behind. Surprisingly, I learnt that even 32 X 20...
