Drove last night all the way from North Tahoe, Ca to Bellingham to visit my daughter so I couldn’t miss the opportunity to visit Troydon too. I picked up here my S180 just year ago.
I know some of you have already received frames and others are waiting for.
For what I saw I can tell you he’s working his a….s off to send them out as fast as he can. Frames are here so you won’t have to wait much longer.

Public Service Announcement 😉

Now that frames (and soon bikes) are starting to ship, I’ve started a dedicated RS 181.2 owners / build thread.

If anyone has already received theirs, feel free to share delivery updates, build details, weights, setup, ride impressions, and any issues there so everything is in one place.

@Rob Rides EMTB Hi Rob can I ask if the ERA carbon cranks you had on your Crestline are they the standard Bosch ones? I have a set which I was thinking of transferring to my new bike but just wanted to check it wouldn't cause issues.
 
Small update from Troydon after I asked him about the forks and if they would be shipped with the frame...

I am currently working on frame and fork orders and my plan is to put them in the box as long as it’s safe to do and I can fit them with enough packaging. If that works that’s how they will ship. if not I will ship separately. I’m doing my best to get everything sent out this coming week.
 
I agree that’s likely. Not as stated though - posted in priority of order placed.
I got mine through a bike shop. I am sure they got a few bikes and customers waiting but I also have heard absolutely nothing from them as of yet either.

Anyone going through a shop hear anything? I'd think Crestline takes care of their "direct" customer firstly, then again you'd think the shops may have been the first to place orders!?

Next week should bring us all the answers, I hope..
 
I noticed this on the pinkbike article. It says the 700wh battery wont fit the rh2… which I know most have seen. It goes on to say, rh3-rh4 frames were tweaked to accommodate ALL available batteries…. I suppose thats a typo? No way the new 600/800 will fit?

The 700 has newer cells. It’s cylindrical in shape and it’s too big for the rh2, but it will fit the rh3&4. The 600 & 800 will fit in all 3.

I was curious if they meant the new 600/800 batteries. Im pretty sure the new removable 600/800 batteries are different forms than previous. 🤔

-edit- ahh, rs batteries use a different connector than the integrated “fs” batteries.

Did the Team Edition bikes pre-order already happen? I don't recall seeing people here talking about the pre-order opportunity for the full bikes.

They dropped the same day as the forge series frames. March 14.
Took a while to sell out, but the site shows them as sold out.
 
Just saw on FB that a few of us got unreadable barcode delays at FEDEX. Wonder what thats all about... 😫

Yea mines the same. All in troutdale. I think they just got a bunch at the same time and it’s FedEx way of saying it’s gonna get delayed. Probably can’t ship that many huge boxes same time.

Troutdale is known as a fedex black hole as stuff often goes in there and may or may not get back out.

I got my frame Monday as expected. Looks pretty sweet, will build it up soon.

Mine was sitting there since early this morning (different time stamp b/c i'm MST), but tracking just updated and shows it's departed Troutdale.
