Definitely black, hora rides an orange bike (blur 4x) so you might be perverted, slow and full of excuses by association

Mine's the same colour and size (16") as firestarters - Skwosh for sure! 😀

Here's mine just after I built it - I've since rerouted the rear brake hose and changed the seatpost. Absolutely cracking frame, very confidence-inspiring.

I've got the black one and it looks great although after only two rides the top tube looks like I've rode with sandpaper between my thighs. Never had this on any other bike in 20 years of owning different bikes.
Good luck with your choice

coincidentally I saw a mummy on an orange blue pig today. Bombers and Larsens. Very nice looking bike. Near Upton. Anyone round these parts?

I went black and White to minimise the colours, had I gone skwosh, then it'd have been orange frame, black forks, gold stantions, black bars and stem, black post etc
So I thought I'd keep it simple with a lot of stuff carry over from the previous build.
It's a bit more pimped now with White wheels, cables and hoses. 😀

Mr BH is selling his 'black' piggy if you're interested?

I don't have one, but if I did I'd want an orange one. These looks very jolly. 🙂

That's quite interesting. Thought it was just mine. The paint is now so dulled after about a year of ownership (might actually be less than that) that it's no longer gloss, more of a satin finish.

Awesome bike though!

Ahh the road to Chinley Churn ^^^. No, too many bikes and not enough space.

Oh. Poor little piggy 🙁 Sorry I missed you guys the other week btw, been kicked senseless by the cold from hell. Longest time off the bike for two flippin' years, I think - over a week now - but seem to be on the mend and probably needed a rest anyway. We should do local trails and cake some time.

That's remiss of me, as that lane is on my local patch I should have recognised it.

Oooh cake, yes please. Just pipe up when you feel upto a pootle and we'll arrange something.

fennerhorne - enjoy the bike when it arrives.

It looks slightly different under snow, I guess. I'm currently wiped out by some poxy cold virus thing, but I'll drop you a line once I've vaguely alive again :-/

That's where I guessed - helps if you've lived around the corner I guess!

Oh, and to the OP - bright bikes are always the answer 8)
