So having processed the information that I probably won't be getting my bike back I'm now stuck with the problem of how do I replace a bike which is now out of production? I'd only had it since April and bought one of the last ones produced direct from Orange. How does the Alpine 160 compare? What else out there will give me the same grin factor?

If I see some little scumbag riding it near where I live there will be.

Ever hear of Orange giving discounts for theft replacement?

Have you tried the Orange website? Was a few "old" display bikes on their website.

They meant to be brining the new One out later this year.
Meant to be more hard core LOL

Always give an Alpine 160 a go.
Give Orange a call they would give you more info

The 160 is the replacement, a mate of mine that was "never ever" getting rid of his patriot now has one, and loves it.
Another friend happens to be selling an as new 5AM with Fox 36 via our shop(due to non bike related injury), if that interests you e-mail me(adress in profile).

Sorry to hear it got nicked but if it's any consolation a friend of mine is flogging his barely used last model 16" Patriot frame (DHX Air) in orange. Email me and I'll put you in touch.

Should have said - mine was an 18" and was only just big enough. Might be interested in the 5 AM but it would need to be through a shop as it'll be an insurance payment.
