Had a mooch round a big bike shop after work. I'm not liking many of the 2013 graphics, but do like the timeless simplicity of the Orange 5. Is this just a middle-aged thing all mountain bikers go through?

Loads of graphics are not for me. But neither is the Orange 5.

Yes, but then after a few months of riding one you realise it's the bike you should have had all along 🙂

Wow, that is amazing. If you like Iron maiden that is. Public enemy or prodigy versions could be cool. I assume that's a custom job though?

I think its rather a case of "mountain biking, is this just a phase all middle aged folk go through?"
