2014 Orange 322

[Welshy]

They still insist upon minute top tubes: No one above 5'6" can ride even the long frame.

Are they really that bad ? Damn I'm 6' 4" and was thinking about throwing my leg over one of these things, but then again I was 6' 4" 10 years ago and rode a 16" Orange Patriot that was like a dh bmx haha

Totally missed this image floating around in the Dirt site for some reason even thou its not changed I thought this was the older frame.

I also don't agree with the Dirt comments did anyone ever read the review they gave it ? It was not there most positive review and we all know how Dirt love anything British.

I don'y understand why Dirt were allowed to post this on the 26/01/14 and the Orange website is still saying 01/02/14 maybe all we are waiting for is new graphics and they can be seen here

Thats why I reposted it! I thought that was pretty clear in what I wrote, It was in broken english and not french (haha) thats maybe where wires got crossed ?

After reading a review in Dirt maybe last year or the year before I thought Orange would of maybe tweaked some angles but for £1999 frame only, Im thinking these will be as popular as ever

Totes want one.

 

[heavyp]

Totes want one.

Id take one too wish they had more colour options thou

It's slacker than half of Ipswich combined.

 

[mtbdh]

looks same like always but fresher, id like one too...
lets see when they arrive to australia what the retail price would be,
they gonna probably over charge anyway.
There are so many bikes out there atm its a hard choice so it depends on price and best value i guess

 

[njplews]

That's sweet colour looks good

My 332 was the only thing in the shed to survive a bush fire... I was so upset!

I understand these frames are now cheaper but surly they could sort the cable routing out a little
