The 2020 Orange Alpine 6 is Totally Overhauled - But Looks Exactly the Same

[Mr Crudley]

After getting caught in the rain In the RNP on Wednesday I can definitely see the appeal.
So much sand getting in places it shouldn’t.

I have a good friend that has been hitting up the RNP quite a bit lately. You guy must cross paths.
The RNP does drain well, mostly, but that sticky, gritty sandy stuff is the worst. Thank god disc brakes have fixed a bit part of that one.

It's still a pretty bland bike.

There is a reason why white Camrys sell so well sir.

 

[Ultra Lord]

There is a reason why white Camrys sell so well sir.

Because they’re cheaper than an orange?

I probably have seen your mate around loftus. It is my local, been riding there consistently for 15 years or so.

Could be, nothing is too cheap by the time it lands here unfortunately.

My friend is messing around there week days on a Bullit. Can't miss one of those

You sir, are a villain and a scoundrel!!!!

I call 'em how I see 'em, and that sir is a pig with lipstick. I also draw particular attention to Orange having joined the ranks of bike designers who opt for a curvature of tubes that is so slight that at first glance it almost looks straight, then it offends.

I can count how many bullits I’ve seen on one hand, there’ll be no mistaking him!

My bikes look like a pile of unloved wasted dollars...there's a lot of unassembled heart ache going on. One of my "friends" (because friends don't say these things) recently suggested I sell him one of my frames because "you'll never build it" and "you don't even ride anymore". So raw.

I haven't sneaked off there for mid weeker for a quite a few months now. Rides when few others are out riding are gold.
Loftus, I have to admit, is an up and down techy grinder, well, it was the routes I've been there and has handed my tired arse to me on a rusty platter.

Poodle builds many bikes...I've got

• Dh rebuild
• Fr touch ups
• Ss/trail build
• Ss tune and reveal
• Hard tail x 2 for build and move
• the big diet for a friend's kid's bike.

Assuming nothing else pops up along the way. I think one day I'll start.

Someone is angling to go back on ‘ignore’.

You like that gentle arc? It was top 5 for why I ditched my NS.

Yep, it hammers you. Short downs, short ups and all the rocks to get hung up on.

You’re a fan of the eye watering humped nomads.
Your argument is irrelevant.

That one isn't pink @moorey

I loved the old hunch back! Nothing subtle there...


Tried to find the iconic Mondraker frame and it seems they have straightened out.

 

[Asininedrivel]

And people complain that the current Nomad looks ugly? I don't understand anything any more.

However if we're looking for hunchy nothing says "I'm going to hang a turd on your immaculate front lawn while the neighbours are watching" like a first gen Niner Jet9 carbon.

Finally a purpose for the orange downtube
