[Closed] PSA- New Orange Gyro Pro's £1200.

Flippin' 'eck that's cheap.

Cor. Basically giving the frames away, that

Don't think I've seen Orange discount like that before....... they must be properly shit!

😉

I'm 4 inches too long 🙁

Show off.

Wow...wish I had £1200 knocking about I'd snap one up!!

Wow. They really must be tripe!

EDIT: Seriously though, if i was after a new bike right now i would be 29er curious for the first time

There are good bikes. If that's your size… go for it!

Not shit. At all.

Love mine and have forwarded that link to a couple of mates who have ridden and enjoyed mine. I'd be gutted at that price drop.

If I had any intention of selling mine.
And
If I hadn't got mine for a price not too far from that 😀

Not shit, but clearly didn't sell that well. I guess, if you want an XC 29er, you don't naturally think of Orange. It will be interesting to see whether the Segment fares any better.

I'm rarely impressed by an offer

But that looks good

How over lapping is the Five '14 and the Gyro? I'd quiet like a Gyro but don't want a bike that does the same thing..

MUST.... RESIST......

I have absolutely no need for one, but even I just stared at the page for 10 mins considering it.

Thank goodness it's too small

Not sell well? - they've got 2 left! And as much as i hate oranges that is a bargain

Dear God, I've just bought one and i didnt even know i wanted or needed one....i dont even hav anywhere to put it!

They're not that similar according to those who have ridden both (Not me btw). The Gyro's more XC I believe.

I think the Gyro suffered badly from the trend towards long and low everything, hence the Segment. Probably came along a year or two too late although it must have shifted a few as it was on sale for 3 years and spawned the Alpine 5 and Segment.

Christmas bonus, where are you?? They usually tell us before the December payment!
Jeez, new shower? new car? New Orange 29er..? Heeeeellllllppppp

If your current shower is rubbish, that's what I'd do tbh 🙂

How much too small would one of these be at 5'11/6ft?

My current shower doesn't exist!
Got a bath though, but not a Orange Gyro. 😀

Christmas bonus

A Christmas bonus? Is that when you have Christmas off?

All gone!

Thank goodness it's too small

This.

[i]All gone![/i]

Phew!

[i]A Christmas bonus? Is that when you have Christmas off?[/i]

Nope, it's when the bigwigs give emselves an extra million for their year's hard work and we get a few tins of baked beans and a Twix.

Amazing deal. I bought a Gyro frame only about six months ago. For £750, I thought that was a bargain! Brilliant bike. I've built it up more XC (Apart from the dropper :))and it's a hoot. I ride mainly in the Lake District. I enjoy the ups more than most people, it always surprises me how well it climbs. I also find it really good in the air. And I'm rubbish at jumping, I wasn't expecting that. I'm a single pivot convert.

Not sell well? - they've got 2 left!

And all they had to do was reduce the price by £1,700 - weird eh?

I don't suppose they sold all of them at 1700 off did they.

Received mine today in Neon Green i gotta admit it is stunning 🙂
as soon as i saw the offer i couldn't resist it BARGAIN 😆

When did you order mate?

Mine arrives tomorrow..! absolute bargain.. Hope it rides well!!

How much does the medium weigh?

I ordered mine on Sunday,it arrived on Wednesday 🙂

Just got mine looks great, feels like it will be fast too.. Not sure about the bars but everything else looks fine.. Don't think you could buy a better bike for £1200... See how my strava times fair up... Nice one orange!!

FWIW, I found a dropper post really made a big difference to how much you could push the bike. Probably more than any other bike I've ridden.

My email says it was dispatched on thurs the 11th. Im now hoping that it will turn up when my gf is at work.....

So, anyone weighed these yet, ballpark figure?

Mine was dispatched yesterday and its here now.

pleasantly surprised it has Hope evo front hub....

granny_ring - as you've asked twice 🙂

They're not especially light. My large is a frame only build with fairly average parts (flows on Hope, reverb, X0 gears and SLX brakes, Thomson finishing bits and Manitou Towers) is around 30lbs I'd guess. Not weighed it and have no intention of doing so.

Heavier than the 130 mm 26" Nicolai I had before it but much much faster.

My frame cost me 850 Euros in February so I reckon mine still cost me a little less than the clearance ones 8) .

Did anyone receive pedals with there bikes ?

Im certain the spec said it was coming with flat pedals. However i didnt receive any. I have sent them an email regarding this.

I sent the mail on Sat am, so im not expecting a reply til tomorrow

I was also sure that the spec stated that flat pedals were included,
I will also email them 🙂

Also the non driveside swinging arm has the rear brake hose running through it, and mine doesnt have a rubber grommet to prevent the hose being damaged

I'm sure if you contact them they'll sort it.

That famous Orange service...

Bloody hell, you get a bargain bike for £1200 that should have been £2800..
And your moaning about pedals not being supplied.
get some superstar nanos for £24 using code XMAS14, and be happy. Today only code though.

All though if you ask Orange nicely, they might send someone to ride the bike for you too..
😀

There wont be a grommet on the exit of the swingarm, by the caliper. There will be on the entrance by the seattube.

There wont be any movement at the rear, but there will be at the seattube end.

Pedals.... any given free with a bike will be poo. Buy some decent ones. Nukeproof or Superstar are some good budget options that are excellent.

Whilst i agree ive been lucky to happen across such a deal, the spec given by Orange went into minute detail as to what items had been changed and what had been substituted in its place.

I firmly doubt Orange would have sent me the bike if i sent them £40 less than the asking price, so it seems that we are both part of contract.

The arrival of a bike that I couldnt ride due to the missing parts was also a little frustrating on a rare free weekend.

I can only assume that keeping your word, or the pressures of dwindling free time are concepts that are alien to you.

You couldn't have taken pedals of another bike>

Sadly one was in the lbs and the other was being used by my daugher on a bikepack trip....

I had an email this morning telling me they would send me the pedals.

How fab is that?

enjoy, blinding deal, glad they sold out as I dont need another bike!

I also dont need another bike, but im going to have fun riding it. Yeay!

pedals are on there way 🙂

What pedals were they? Usually they're cheap £5 jobbies, not £40 decent pedals.

Im afraid my email didnt say. With my current luck it will be DMR Vaults 🙂

In reality it will be plastic testride plop!

Now taller folks can get some of the bargain Gyro action, XL Gyro pro now £1300!

Blimey. I upgraded only 4 months ago from a £500 starter 26er to a Giant Anthem 4 29er for £1000 which I really am enjoying. Will I really get a lot more out of one of these or should I just not be an idiot and ignore it?

Or you could buy one and bang it on eBay for a nice little profit.

Thanks for the spot. I impetuously bought the last one on a credit card sitting up in bed on Saturday morning and am hoping it'll be an improvement on my base model Giant Anthem 29er. If not it'll go on Ebay. If I like it then the Anthem will. I know. Gear/noidea.
