The seem to have just jumped in price by £300 and dropped hydraulic discs

Yikes - the price has increased, but still listing Force1 hydro discs on their website.

FWIW, I love my Camino, and now I feel like I've 'saved' £300!

That looks excellent.
Good value too (says £300 here?).

I've bought a bike now, after an 8 month wait for a frame (hence the grumpiness about the original), but this would have made it a tough choice.

I hope they do really well.

Edit - Just spotted the panniers - very interesting, especially the clipless one.

I'm going to Alpkit on Friday for a test ride of the Ti and Aluminium Camino.
Been dithering for ages about purchasing the Ti one, just seen it's gone up by £300.
Alu one does look good value for money.

Shock! Bike company sells stuff that works with other stuff they sell!

Upthread, people were saying that Sonder bikes were missing rack mounts because Alpkit are all about bikepacking with softbags...anyway, this is a pleasing development and the new alu Camino is very tempting.

i didnt even notice the Camino Alloy section - no wonder they moved the prices around.

This could be dangerous.

I popped in to Alpkit with a mate this morning so he could pick up a headtorch.

Ended up doing laps of the car park on £1850 worth of Vir Fortis carbon Fat Bike.

It is now the planned N+18 🙄

I have a Vir Fortis, you won't regret it.

Lovely bike, very light, amazes everyone when they want to lift it up.

the £300 is prob to do with the old Brexit thingy - most bikes have just jumped in price as the good old £ is performing slightly worse than the Argentinian Peso at the mo .....

Not only does he trick me into testing a fatbike, he then starts stalking me on here!

Has anyone compared the Camino Alloy Vs the basic Specialized Sequoia?
