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 recent ride pics plus some photos rushed for the May BOTM.
There was a large dog when I took these pics, he didn't seem very pleased for me to be there but kept backing away as I approached. The things we do for art eh?
A not very detailed build thread is :
2009 Orange Five 18"
29" Fox Float 15mm dropout
RP23 Fox rear shock
Hope M4 brakes
Mixture of Zee, Race Face and SLX make up a 1 X 10 drivetrain
Nuke Proof bars 800 X 31.8 with a 30mm stem.
Richey WCS grips (a new favourite)
Tyres are 29 X 2.35 Specy Fastrack Grid and Maxxis Ardent Race 26 X 2.35, both tubeless.
Wheels are a Kore hub laced to a Mavic 819 rim on the rear and a Neo 29 up front. I managed to get the last non boost wheel in the shop.
A Cane Creek S6 headset, 100mm dropper and NP peddles round out the build at the moment.
