orange 322

[frenchman]

Now that I'm living a couple of hours from rotorua I figured I should retire the 223 and get onto something with less cracks. Happy that not much needed to be changed apart from the headset and rear hub is back to 135/12.

Xt running gear with an xo shifter
Xt 4 pots and mavic / hope / dt Swiss wheelset
Thomson, Funn and SDG cockpit.
And I just picked up a fast suspension CO3 cart to bring the forks back up to date.

It's still noisy, but a bit longer lower and slacker with a bit of progression in the back end.

‘‘Tis a thing of beauty, but I know I could never deserve it, nor do it justice.

Ahh, the old Halifax Rattler!

FAKE NEWS!
My fives and Alpine are no noisier than my other bikes. Other than the hope hubs sounding much louder, due to the big monocoque swingarm acting like a speaker cone.
If you do have a squeak or rattle, yes, it will sound loud. Pro tip: Don’t have them.
Old 222 was noisy in the day, but there were no clutched derailleurs, and mine had the rattly floating brake.

Summary: They can be noisy. Which they likely are.

Tongue firmly in cheek matey, I’ve waxed lyrical about oranges plenty of times round here. That mudd run is mint too, old mate is smooth af

Yeah, it’s a magic run, on a trail bike, at a National DH race, rocking the podium. Love watching that run after doing all the B lines on Turbs

How does she ride? I remember riding a 223 back in the day and the thing was like a scalpel but the brake jack almost killed me on a rutted out entrance into a corner.
