Default mountain bikes

ive got my hands on a 2007 Orange crush bike with xt running gear instead of the sram stuff, what are peoples opinions on it as its touted as a hardcore hardtail ? i shall be using for some urban messing about and lots of rough downhill, have i made a good choice ?

Looks like it will fit your purpose up re the Urban stuff but will depend on what level of downhill you are prepared to take on (as with all mtb's really)

Enjoy anyway as for one thing the frame will be good

Good solid MTB that will go anywhere but might be a bit heavy for loooong rides.

Never rated Orange bikes personally

- what do the British know about designing and developing mountain bikes?
