My demo bike arrived. And it looks pretty amazing.

What about now? There yet? ?

I would be interested to know how you compare it to the Wild FS. Ta

I too have itchy fingers!!!

Where's the review then? Have you not done it yet Rob, you've had nearly a full day ?

Feel like the kid in the back seat shouting "are we there yet" every 5 mins...

He should really do what everyone else does and just pre-write several reviews, then just pick one and "Insert Bike name HERE" .. It would be much quicker and easier.
 
Still no RT-86 203 rotors available for the build. Look forward to your reviews.
 
At the risk of sucking up............

I enjoy Robs reviews, he often covers lots of the obvious fact and figures without labouring them. He will point out his likes, dislikes and possible weaknesses but @Rob Rides EMTB I would like comparisons about some of the stuff. Perhaps along the lines of this “Fox fork sits in between the Rockshoxs A & B in my view”.

I‘m sure we all understand that sometimes there is nothing to choose between certain items but I for one don’t get to try various bikes or components and I struggle to understand if an “upgrade” would be worthwhile.

I also appreciate such comments on the forum where folks take the time to pass on their view points on items and issues. Perhaps “a pile of scrap” needed a little more meat on the bones though. ??
 
Oh yeah, Rick, thanks for that tip. Glad you didn't get hurt. I could imagine a crank falling off could result in a serious crash if headed downhill at speed.

Is Orbea prioritizing specific countries for delivery? How can you order today and get it on the 30th? I'm assuming you mean the 30th of this month and not the 30th of this month next year?

I ordered mine in October. Won't be delivered to Calgary until July :(

Maybe the LBS has those in stock?
 
Hi

My local bike shop in the uk had one in stock ( just needs to be built ) apparently xl is not a common size so they told me

They have long waits for m and l sizes

Since you bought an XL, may I ask how tall you are? I'm 6 ft. So I'm right at the end of the L recommendation and at the beginning of the XL recommendation.

This is an interesting video discussion of how to pick out the right size bike for you:

 
I kind of had no choice as I am 6 foot 4
Personally if I was 6 foot I would of still brought a xl

When I ordered the bike they asked me about height and said anyone 6ft and above a xl is a must

I think you will be ok

Which model did you go for ?

I ordered the coal blue M10 in XL.

They had a medium ice green one in stock so I got to see one in person at least. It's a beautiful bike.
