<p>This bike is slightly cheaper than the 16&#8243; becuase it has a pair of 2009 forks fitted.</p>
<p>The saddle, seatpost and back tire are unused (we take these bits off<br />
to save them from scuffing)  the front tire is slightly used, nothing<br />
else has been changed. They really weren&#8217;t used much this season,<br />
normally we end up changing bushings , BB bearings and wheel bearings<br />
but they are all still tight.</p>
<p>Have a close look at the pictures, we protect the fames with heli-tape<br />
and they end up virtually unmarked.</p>
<p>We&#8217;d box them up in the original boxes and post them for 80 euros.</p>

<p>Please note the fork pictured has been swopped for the fork on the 18&#8243;, the fork for sale now with this bike is the Van R, 2009</p>

<p><strong>3. 2009 Orange Blood 17&#8243;, 1800 euros</strong></p>
<p>This  was bought as a frame last year, it has a mismatch of of bits and pieces on it to make it into a complete bike (some new).  The frame is hardly used and is virtually blemish free, the parts are mostly in good condition but I can&#8217;t vouch for them all 100%</p>

<p>The new bikes have arrived! They look unbelievably &#8220;bling&#8221;. I have been lucky enough to have this day in May for 8 years now. It&#8217;s one of the best bits of the job. This year we have a 16&#8243; and an 18&#8243; <a href="http://www.orangebikes.co.uk/2009bikes/bike.php?model_id=105" target="_blank">Orange Alpine 160</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.chaletgeorge.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/orange-alpine-together.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-543" title="orange-alpine-together" src="http://www.chaletgeorge.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/orange-alpine-together-300x251.jpg" alt="orange-alpine-together" width="300" height="251" /></a></p>
<p>I thought I&#8217;d pull the &#8220;prototype to this bike out of the garage and make some compare and contrast notes. Apart from the component differences there are a number of obvious frame differences.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.chaletgeorge.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/orange-alpine-differences-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-544" title="orange-alpine-differences-2" src="http://www.chaletgeorge.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/orange-alpine-differences-2-300x251.jpg" alt="orange-alpine-differences-2" width="300" height="251" /></a></p>
<ol>
<li>The rear swing-arm is bigger and beefier (it looks stiffer) with more mud clearance than the old one.</li>
<li>The headangle is .75 degrees steeper than the old (it is 66.4 degrees according to my iphone)</li>
<li>The bottom bracket is 1.5cm higher</li>
<li>It has a maxle rear axle, should be stiffer.</li>
<li>Sexy new hydroformed? tubes and a frontend that is 1 or 2cm higher than the old bike.</li>
<li>It has more travel, they say 160 mm compared to 130 mm but who knows?</li>
</ol>
