Anyone heard of one going walkies?

Looks too cheap for comfort to me and the ad is a bit too light on detail 🤔🧐🤔🧐🤔🧐

Is it not about 20 years old with that head angle?

Still overpriced if you ask me. But then I guess people who think Oranges are good bikes would think that's cheap. 😉😂

Not as old as you lot think, it's at least a 27.5 2014 as the earlier 2011/12/13 26" bikes had a tapered head tube with even earlier bikes being 1 1/8th.

Terrible mashup of parts, cheap decal replacements and a woeful bike market mean it's not especially cheap tbh. Saw a similar age Gyro in better condition only raise similar on ebay recently.

Just spotted my typo. I meant 10 years old - which would make £350ish seem fair.

Money seems fair in this market and that age

Yep. 2014 model.  They changed from this curved top tube frame to the straight one with the seat tube brace in mid 2015. 2014 was a 27.5" Wheeler (think 2012 or maybe 2013 was still on 26")

Still ride great, if you know what you're doing 😎

Aye, looking around a bit more it doesn't seem that cheap after all. Think I've still got the covid price filter running in my brain somewhere 😆
