..eldest_oab has been saving his paper round money, the Orange 5 is being sold as he is outgrowing it. This popped up last week locally - mega immaculate, lots of TF tuned reciepts, spare wheels, rotors, mudguards, the whole nine yards for a frankly silly money from a local rider.

My kid now definitely has a nicer bike than me, and is faster than me, and has more bottle than me... First proper outing this weekend, Falkirk Enduro next weekend.

That's quite cool... have a keen youngster myself... he's a while away from paying for hsi own though.

I'd be taking a hair dryr to the rim decals for the sake of coordination

Wait until you see him on it wearing the orange helmet, orange shoes and red/orange cycle top he has been wearing in an attempt to co-ordinate some on his last bike.... 😆

Apart from the goggles under xc/trail helmet, fairplay to him.

Good luck. But If they are Superstar rims they aren't decals.

£10 a week for two years, plus I paid for first bike and that keeps getting recycled. That and the Radon was a fabulous price...

I remember having 2x early riser paper rounds involved lots of cycling out of town that worked out to pay £7 odd an hour.
Then £150 or so in tips and choccy at xmas.

Work hard and all will follow such as shiny new bike proven by Matt’s son. 🙂

Is that jump on the red run at Comrie? I always worry I'll land short on that one. Looks like he doesn't have that problem

Yes jump at Comrie - according to him it was lovely kick. He landed clear on down slope.
