My thoughts from building it and a quick test ride – “what a cracking bike, it’s even my size, hopefully no-one wants to buy it then its Christams come early!’
What Orro say –
“The new and improved Gold STC is the next evolution of the extremely popular Gran Fondo machine. Fully equipped with the very latest Shimano components including hydraulic disc brakes which provide the very best stopping power even in the most treacherous conditions. Now with an added colourway, this is the bike for the rider that wants to travel far and fast, and do it in style.
Widely regarded as the best option on the market, disc brakes enable you to ride faster and brake later. It also reduces stopping distances improving your safety, and has the added benefit of not wearing down your rims.”

Available in 15″ or 13" frame size, our Squish 26 is a great choice for your little cyclist aged 9 years and over. Of course, at this age, they’re often more grown up than their parents (or so we let them think!), this is why at Squish HQ in Birmingham, we purposefully designed the colours and graphics to be more subtle. You still get little Squish clinging onto the front of the bike and cool little hints of colour on the rims, headset spacers and even the rear mech hanger, but that’s just a nod to the playful side of Squish….these bikes mean business! With 152mm cranks, 32T chainring and Shimano 8spd 11-32T cassette, there’s enough gear ratio’s to get up most hills when powered on sweets, and enough low gears to race back down. The double-wall alloy rims, powerful alloy v-brakes and robust triple butted frame ensure weight is kept to a minimum, but ensures performance is second to none!
