Drovercycles, will it have a straight fork or the lovely curved one I've seen in the pictures of it? The spec list has it down as a "straight blade fork", but the pictures I've seen have a curved bladed one?

Stevied, I've just ordered my 601 Werksmachine in raw
Be very interested in hearing how you get on with it...
Cannondale Slate for me with the little lefty on it and single ring up front. I have an inkling it would be average at most things but I just want one.
Canyon Dude trail fatty, for when it gets too sloopy for my FS 29er. Grippy man.

I really fancy one of these to replace the Epic when I decide to change it. I was close to picking up hugely discounted frame at 24/12 at the weekend but decided against it for some strange reason.

Looks maybe?
For those asking about the Vagabond there are some details up on the site now:

Ben98 - you're quite right the spec does say straight blade but they're evidently not, both the sample and the images in the catalogue are lovely raked forks.
Given I've got another 5 months to think about, I'm looking at the 2016 bikes, I want:
Slack, Long'ish ETT and Reach, Short seat tube to run a 150mm dropper, Carbon, decent 1x11 spec, less than £4k.
That Pivot Mach was up there, until I looked at the geometry, really short ETT and reach, I'd need an XL - which bombs the idea of the short seat tube.
The new Reign ticks my boxes at the moment...

Just looks lovely. And means I can get out and ride some of the bridleways close to me in winter

Pass the Kleenex would you?

This. Really liking the colours on the new Reigns as well. That Nicolai HT is awesome too.
I can see myself going for one of these... someday....

Unless something else comes along to tempt me away! I had been thinking a 29er Remedy but they aren't bringing that option to the UK this year... US only model... so a 6Fattie is looking really tempting!
