Anyone taken delivery of this bike yet? Good experiences?
Just placed an order from batch 2... now it’s just about waiting
Hi mate not yet email this week and they recon we’ll be getting them by the end of this week, so cross fingers
I’ve got a feeling I’m going to be waiting surrounded by shiny new parts for a while, looks like it’ll be worth the wait though.
I’ve had bits sat here for about 10weeks lol. It’s murder hahaha

Think that’s it
I’ve also got a 29er wheel set here to if I fancy swapping them over at some point.
We've got a few frames coming soon at 18 Bikes, from this first batch.
Let's see some photos when they're built up!
Can’t wait to post a pic of mine!
Sounds like most most folk are going for the “tough” build
Thought about the DVO but after chatting my lbs (in Western Australia) we decided the Rockshox servicing would be easier.
I’m pretty lucky James if got a DVO service centre about 25 miles away so phew lol
Daaaaaaaaaaame this thing is pink!!!!
Mine arrived this morning.I had no delivery notification,so just lucky I was in.Batman11,the colour was my first impression too.will take a couple of weeks to build.
Same here jfb01 it just arrived this afternoon lol once I get the headset pressed on it’ll be ready for the week end as I’ve got all the bits here ready.
Hurry up and get some pics up you pair.
We need to take the piss out of your lawn/weeds/fence/kitchen/lounge. 😜
I would if i could figure out how to put a picture up
Ooh that is one nice looking hardtail. Can’t find images of the raw with black coating anywhere though. Really wish I had spare cash at the moment.
I've got my green, just waiting for a headset to arrive. I'm very keen to shred down my fav trails here on Vancouver Island. Can't figure out how to post a photo:(
Yo, I’m halfway through the build. Pink longer, green DVO, Hope 35w, SLX groupset. with new Vittoria Plus+ tyre on the rear and the New magic Mary 2.8 front. I know Alan Finley from Pipedream cycles very well,he’s a close friend and I wouldn’t hesitate buying another bike off him.
The service and friendly back up you get after the purchase should you need it is second to non.
Si
I cant see the pic damn it! Grrr.
I really wish there were photos in this thread
Building mine tomorrow. Pics to follow...
There is one on eBay if anyone is interested. Not mine or alt to do with me.
