Re: Orange Prestige - Updated 28 Feb - Now Finished(ish) Pag

I spent the morning trail building over in the Forest of Dean, whilst the guys in the bike shop rearmed the down tube for me, then after lunch I took it for it's inaugural test ride. All in all I was rather impressed with the frame and forks although it needs some wider bars and it's questionable if it would have been more comfortable if I had removed the saddle and sat on the seat post so I'll definitely have to look into alternatives. Sorry not photos of it out on the trails this time but I'll try and remember next time.

I'm over in North Bristol but tend to ride over in the FoD and have been helping to building trails over there for several years now.

Re: Orange Prestige - Updated 1 March - Finished and riden

Thanks for all the positive comments.

I want to tweak the set-up a bit to better suit my riding, so I'm on the look out for a shorter stem and wider bars but to make things tricky I want to go for British.
