I'm looking at one of these and came across this thread, does anyone have any more reviews?
Cheers.
That's my one in the link pigyn posted. Had it about 4 months now and really like it. Been used for lots of different stuff, local rides and playing around in the woods, bikepacking, Torridon, Golfie, Dunkeld, snowboarding access and general biking. It's been singlespeed, geared, rigid and hardtail and good in all versions. It climbs really well, good on technical climbs and is excellent on descents, while not a downhill bike. It's heavier than I hoped but to copy what people say a lot these days you don't notice it. Previous bike wasn't as modern geometry and 27.5 so was concerned it would be difficult going round corners, flop around going up hills, impossible to wheelie / manual and uncomfortable on flats but no issues at all while a better position on steep descents. If you've got any specific questions let me know.
Thanks @jamesybob, I think I'll order one then build it up over the next while when funds and parts are available. I just need to decide on the size and colour now 😬
No worries. That sounds like a good plan. Just been out for a ride on mine and still all good.
I had a 631 Sirius painted a ti sort of colour. It really looked like ti. The paint job was stunningly done.
Now I'm triggered 🙁 sold bike sadness all over again.

Really like the look of these but seem tiny to someone 6’2″ and 34″ inside leg?
6'1" and 34 inside leg. Rode an 18" Sirius with 26 wheels and a Rockshox Rev U-turn 85-130mm. 80mm stem. Boom. Loved it.
I've been looking at maybe getting myself a Sirius but I was a bit concerned about the earlier comment about the 100kg weight limit as it has been a while since I've seen 100kg. Anyway I contacted Pipedream for clarification and this is their response, just in case anyone else is similarly concerned.
There's not a weight limit per se and I don't know how the rumour/misinformation came about. Our frames are tested and comply with ISO 4210-2.
ISO 4210-2:2015(en) Cycles — Safety requirements for bicycles — Part 2: Requirements for city and trekking, young adult, mountain and racing bicycles.
In producing this International Standard, the aim has been to ensure that bicycles manufactured in compliance with it will be as safe as is practically possible. The tests have been designed to ensure the strength and durability of individual parts as well as of the bicycle as a whole, demanding high quality throughout and consideration of safety aspects from the design stage onwards.

The test load is 1200NM which equates to 122kg.
