New Mountain Bike

[Robin]

Hi Guys!

Well I finally took the plunge and bought a new bike. I went for an Orange Crush. It really takes anything thrown at it! I will get some pictures up soon!

But thanks to Eddie (Vegas) and Rob (Happy Otter) for helping me decide!

Now here is the next part. I along with some friends are looking for a challenge to do. We had looked at doing the Offers Dyke Path but due to it being mostly footpath we aren't allowed to. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Cheers,

Robin

Orange Crush.....sound like one of those uncomfortable saddles :roll:

Well not had that happen yet! I'm sure the time will come!

Here is the bike. But will get some nice muddy pics!

Nice looking bike Robin

Interesting brakes....do they work like a disc?

Garry

[Robin]

Yep, exactly! Once they are bedded in I think they will stop quicker than me

Infact the only problem with the bike is the rider.

Hi Robin,

You could look at doing the Great Glen Way between Fort William and Inverness - they allow bikes on that.

Just watch out for bagpipe playing gorillas.

Hi Robin,


nice wheels mate. Glad you went for the Orange. I'm sure you love it. Although it needs a little mud and crud throwing at it as its far too clean there..

Anytime you fancy a trip up North then get in touch and I will show you some of the trails near me.

Mud, grit, water and then to the pub for beer & medals. CHEERS

Cheers Eddie!

I may even be moving up there to start uni (I'm a late bloomer!) so that would be excellent!

Lovely bike you've got yourself there. I can promise that you'll now have endless fun on it.

One word of advice from another Orange owner though is get rid of their pedals asap. They are the only let down on Orange bikes. Mine broke within a week. (Get pink ones )
