Put the filing cabinet pictures away... It's not an Orange 5.
We're talking about a Rock Rider 5.0

It's all steel, possibly pig iron with 21 speeds of Shimano's worst and some seriously lame ancillaries.
I did consider the next model up, the 5.1, which has an aluminium frame and front suspension but it weighed even more and the fork was more like a pogo stick than suspension.
So what lead me to this piece of 2 wheeled awesomeness?
Simple, it was cheaper to buy than a weeks hire of a Dutch bike (complete with basket).
So what's the STW massive's verdict on this POS?

No garden? Clearly hiding an awful lawn.
