Sorry if this has been up here before

Looks pretty good, I'm quite tempted, especially by the kawasaki green paint option. On paper looks better than a Kinesis Decade Virsa (cheaper and 853 but still available in green and with swappable dropouts). Am I missing anything? Pipedream doesn't seem to get talked about all the time, at least on here?

EDIT: somethings up with the pictures. Go forward a page (eg follow the link), then go back to this post and they seem to show then

I have it on good authority that those won't be the colours.

Looks like black, silver and green will be confirmed, with maybe gold, bronze and possibly the two-colour job on the website. Still waiting for mine ordered early October for a November delivery. They do sound good though…

Hmmm. v intersted. When are the 2010 frames due?

Originally they said late October/early November, but's that was when they were thinking of doing them in 725; haven't heard an ETA since they swithced to 853 – can't be long though

They seem like nice enough bikes but there's just always been something about the way that they look that puts me off – maybe the extended seat tube/seat stays join.

Very good price even if they do look very old school.

Both the reviews on their site stated that 100mm was the most suitable length of fork, which seems a shame given its designed for up to 130mm.

Just placed pre-order, 2010 frames still being made apparently…

These are the colours I'm told.

RAL 9011 – Graphite Black
RAL 9006 – Grey Aluminium (metallic)
RAL 6018 – Yellow Green
RAL 8029 – Pearl Copper (metallic)
Pantone 8642C – Gold (metallic)

plus a two tone one like in the pic is a possibility.

Sometime in January is the latest I'm told.

Just ordered a small in Black.

Told it should be about 4lbs.

Shipment due mid Jan.

Cant wait 😀

As a 631 Pipedream owner…

130mm on the forks is fine with a 40 or 50mm stem and 680mm bars.

Also re: colour options. Can't you get a pretty decent powdercoat for not much money at all? In fact, can't Pipedream custom do custom paint? I'm sure they could for the older models.

Hmmm fingers crossed its a good as it sounds…

I recall some thread where people had issues with ordering or getting what they'd ordered or something. Or am I mistaken (and it is VERY likely that I am)?
