[big_pete]

Drooling all over your bike, very nice!

[Mugger]

Just like uDi's bike, but got some nicer bits (hehehe sorry udsta). Very schmick, colour choice is great.

[ManiCC]

yeh, first time i'v evr seen a white orange 222, looks really good with that white.

[peterp]

yea when i first got it i was very pleased with the colour white to! because thats a 2001 orange and i thought they were normally grey. but the guy i bought it turns out it was a pro's old bike so thats the team colour scheme. i like it

[jungle]

sweet as dude

just gotta love the 222's

cheers

[Pete W]

Thats a special ride, you should be rapt, why are you gett'n rid of the xt gear???

[peterp]

too old and i was riding ma friends bike with sram n its sooooooo much quieter & smoother n everything. an yea im absolutely rapd wif ma bike wouldnt have any other bike over it

[ajay]

nice bike.

888's are a good addition - good to see one without boxxers for a change!

The 5th will transform that bike into a blood thirsty predator :D

[andy73]

nice bike.

888's are a good addition - good to see one without boxxers for a change!



have to agree with ajay.

[Laurie]

Thanks alot mate that's so good I just wanna punch you in the face....good to see your breaking the common mould of Oranges and Boxxers and goin for the 888's you don't see that around to often but then again you don't see too many around with Fox 40's or Dorado's either......nice work!

[ferg]

yeh nice bike hadnt seen it for a while. but this dude is only 13

[kalem]

very nice but very taaallll front end there, looks like it would handle like a dog.

[broke leg]

3 words: "I want one"

[dylma]

i know understand what you meant by bus. thats so sweet, gotta love the colour combination!

[hardinge915]

congrats mate, VERY nice bike you got, in a rough estimation how much she set you back? would love to be able to afford a Orange

[andy73]

How does it handle with the 888s? you could always get the lower crowns if you need to drop the front end a bit...

[alexMc]

How is it with 888's?

And what's the difference between a 222 and 223?
Ever since i rode Squid's 223 i've been addicted to them.

[stinkyfreak]

very sweet ride.

[Roly]

mad

if only i had the brains and money to organise and build a rig like that...

i love the white too. watch out for scratches though...

[super lokie]

that thing looks route able it so good

[peterp]

hey guys, just got back from camp. ummmmm all about im guessin 5000$. it handles surprisingly well with the 888's over the old boxxers. they can take alot more crap thats for sure! its less twitchy as well and i was surprised to find that the 888's r just as light as the boxxers so the 888's make the bike 10 times better for sure!

[frenchy]

yeah those 888's mreally put a nice finish on the bike it looks like a great bike!!

[Jollelse]

realy nice bike.
Clean
good job

[Fraz]

yeh nice bike hadnt seen it for a while. but this dude is only 13

the bloke that owns this bike is 13 years old!!!!!!!! you gotta be kidding!

but, one things for sure thats one kick arse bike!

[Sambo]

Woah that bike is amazing!

[lotec]

i was surprised to find that the 888's r just as light as the boxxers
no theyre not.

nice bike

[jungle]

are they the 7" or 8" 888's you are running on there ?

how's the geometry compared to running the boxxers on there ?

[peterp]

they're 8" mothers. The bottom bracket height is alot heigher and the head is alot taller compared to the boxxers.

[fred the emu]

that is one sexy looking bike!!
i love it nice work :D

[Gripper]

get those 888's lowered sunshine, then she'd be a weapon

[Cave Dweller]

64deg head angle stock + 888 with no low rider crown = Holy slack head angle batman ;)

Looks nice though.

[Butch]

i'd hit that ;) , very nice ride mate

[Constable Care]

That bike is soo cool the forks look fuckin sick with
the white fram sick bike :D
