Is it me?

When I go to the main camino page, it takes forever to load. Any other bike page for any bike loads very quickly.

Works fine for me.

Tell you what, for £100 I'll phone you up and read the page out loud for you

It's because the page loads with a video, rather than just text and images.

That's a no-no with retail websites unless they're paying for a good quality fast CDN (content delivery network) with lots of edge points dotted all round the country to deliver the vid.

Yeah it happens to me too. I swear I haven't been looking at them online every other day for a month...

@airvent it's a right pain, perhaps they're trying to put us off.

It is because I have every single option of that page open trying to make up my mind. And they all opened perfectly.

I definitely am having trouble choosing which one I think I'll go for... 1x or 2x, Ti or alloy, hmmmm

I've had the same issue over the last couple of days - on my phone. It wasn't loading past the first couple of options. On the PC it's fine. Odd - we do have very fast broadband, so it's not that.
FWIW just pushed the button on  a Camino Ti; GRX 1x, 51t cassette, 27.5 wheels, and seeing as I was going all in, the Ti seatpost.
I've had a Broken Road for 5 years and love it. If the Camino is as good I'll be set up for life 😀
