Had looked at the Arkose initially, may need to revisit it as money saved could be invested in a new paint job. Orange is the way to go, which is why the Orro had topped my list.

Seen them build up in a number of different ways. They're extremely versatile.
That paintjob cost me ~£20 and 6 hours (I was drinking beer throughout so not a total loss). DIY or DIE

They're kind of apples and pears really as the Arkose is alu and the Terra C is a pretty up-to-date carbon frame, especially with the Innegra in the frame and the low weight.
Orro do make an alu Terra, it's just called the Terra. Doesn't come in orange though. I would have got an orange Terra C if I hadn't got a green one.

Pinnacle Arkose, under the paint.
Does anything an OPEN will do but for £350 rather than £2500. Extremely, extremely happy with mine.
