Atherton S170.E Dyf-E bike coming soon...
- Thread starter cantaloupe
- Start date
Hopefully, the batches within preorders are a reasonable size. Not sure what's driving the deliveries but it could be anything from the motor, fork or maybe the motor cover that's 3d printed on the prototype. Fingers crossed they get a decent number at a time and can release a good chunk.

If you get any warranty issues do you have to drive it back to Dyfi to get it fixed?
That’s great I am no 15 so hopefully will know shortlyI've had an email today giving a date 18th May. Can't wait now
I think they said I was 9th in an IM a couple of weeks ago

Oh......that's a bit s**t mate.

Build 2.

Oof, that is late - I’m last week of May for mid-pack 1st batch, but still down as ‘estimated.’

Batch 1, build 2, pushed back to early June for me 
To late for my planned trip at the end of May.
At the end of the day April/May -> June is arguably only a month-ish late.....
On the scheme of things, if you decided it was the right bike for you, its got to be worth the extra wait.
They alluded to supply issues/logistics that were unforeseen.

But did they ever even give a date initally? I don't think it was mentioned anywhere that the bikes would be ready April 9th. That was just the date for the Avinox emargo to end and the full specs to be known. I don't think they have broken any promises.
They said batch 1 was late April or early May so they are about 4 weeks late by sounds of things.
Hopefully they don't continue to delay it over and over again.
Delivery date on my invoice was May 27th. That’s a batch 2. I bet it is going to be quite a bit after that now. Disappointed as I hoped to have it for going to the Alps. Probably not going to happen now.

I understand people's frustration but it does seem to happen quite abit with the smaller brands, forbidden for example has huge wait times last year. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait!
I'm early june too, but build 1, maybe the delay is based on size then, the rear swing arm is a standard part think there's 3 swingarm sizes over the 12 bike sizes, I'm size 9 or 10 don;t rememeber, maybe the larger sizes are delayed as the rear swingarms are out of stock, can't be the motor if there's bikes available mid May.
I'm sure I saw a social media post or youtube video that Atehrton were saying if you bought a bike now you'd get it June/July.
So close...yet...
I'm size 9. I've asked the reason for the month delay.
Reminds me of a story my Mum told me. When she was a little girl in Winnipeg her family couldn't really afford meat so she'd sometimes go to the butcher and ask for some to which the butcher would always reply "I said tomorrow, and tomorrow's not here yet". Many years later when she was newly married to my Dad the butcher gave her a big lump of meat to give to her family to celebrate her marriage. So the bikes will come tomorrow.
I've been looking around at alternatives and I don't think you can get anything other than Amflow PXs in stock, Karves are July/Sept. Zendits July to August, Dreadnought ? according to my LBS on the way. Flux, Forestal and Crestline seem a bit unkown availability wise in the uk.
I think anyone that preordered is going to be one of the first to get a genuine 170/180mm travel Avinox bike. It looks like the PR/M2 bikes are going to be later again.
Still can't wait to get my hands on it, it just gives me a bit more time to get some upgrades, which is a real problem I have when I have time on my hands. Carbon wheels are here and ready with DHR/Assegai on. Old carbon Pivot DH bar that I like the shape of along with a new alloy Intend stem for a bit of bling. I think the other upgarde might be cranks (build 2 with the GX), I've been looking at the Forx or 5Dev to match the alloy look. Anyone got any experience with those 2?

Velduro rogues available
Not sure what's with all the haters, I run a small business...under promise, over deliver
What I will give them credit for though is that they make banging bikes and this one will absolutely be worth the wait
What carbon wheels have you gone for?
Should/could they offer something by way of apology? Free delivery or a small discount or uplift day at DYFI or similar?Not sure what's with all the haters, I run a small business...under promise, over deliver

Yeah, sounds fair, waiting to hear back why I'll be waiting longer than people further up the order list than me
Would also be interested to know this. I'll let you know when I hear back.
