Just over 6 weeks and counting for a Black maxle 17". Oh the agony of it, promised this friday fingers crossed.

Yes mine was about that as there were non in my colour in stock. Strangely enough Black maxel but in 16".

It would appear Orange powder coat when they have enough of a particular colour to make a decent run, which is a sensible way of carrying on in my book.

Waiting on a black maxle too 🙁

I've also been reliably informed it'll be this week though 🙂

Mr Toast had to wait nearly a month for his 22" black maxle Orange 5. I'm reliably informed it was well worth the wait though. 😛

Just had a chrome grey in that was ordered about a week ago, guess you've all ordered the wrong colour 🙂

1 week. Last June for a 16", Black Cherry, no maxle.

Guess I was lucky they must of had one 'in stock' ?

Bought my Cloud White from a LBS and got a great deal...a few hundred quid off!!

Transaction took an hour as I swapped quite a few parts and took out an interest free deal too.

And the best bit has been getting a Hope h/set for £35.00

The standard one lasted for 10 months so Orange covered it under warranty and all I had to do was pay the difference. Makes the extra £50 upgrade worthless in my opinion, just wait for the standard one to fail.

Hope they all drive soon as they are great bikes.

I thought they'd run out of maxle back ends so had to weld some more.
