it looks like the frame should have similar braking performance to an iron horse sunday. Does that mean the sunday, with all it's gadgets and doodahs and gizmos, was a piece of shit? They aren't exactly the same, but the braking kinematics are not too dissimilar.Expensive, heavy, noisy, ugly, no suspension when braking... ahh yes, British indeed.
"But it needs so little maintenance" - so, changing less bearings when you service the bike... greatest ever reason to suffer the above
the pivot on this Orange is in (at a quick glance) an almost identical spot as my xprezo, and that bike rides pretty damn good.Hideous for sure, but is the braking performance that bad? The pivot has crept down significantly over the years and is now pretty much in line with the chain.
this appears to have marketing approved wheel diametersWhat's the difference between this and the current orange dh rig that was to be discontinued but wasn't? The pivot is a bit higher?
High praise indeed.The RUX is so good that X-Spewsion is trying to pass their junk off as one. Nice try.
Perhaps that's the number of shimzzzzIs it 102 better than the 222?
Its Brittish stroganoff. Totally stripped of bacon and eggs. It has just more beans,that's all.it means more Flex!British Beef

That's murkan Tesla.May just be the angle of the shot, but the BB looks to be on the high side, and the derailleur cable routing seems wonky. And while I am a fan of SP designs, I'd just take the 'Merrikan version
Have you seen what gets "hits" around here?For something so crap this thread is getting a few hits.
If i win the lotto on tuesday, Im starting my own team and it will consist of Rat Boy, Sam Hill, Steve Peat and Manon Carpenter riding this bike with Boxxers/Vivid, Rental Bars, Hope Brakes, Hope Cranks, Deemax wheels and Michelin Comp 16's.
