Has anyone ordered one and got theirs yet?

I ordered one through a local bike shop but they haven't been getting back to me recently. UKBYK ( http://www.ubyk.co.uk/orbea-rallon-x30-650b-2014/15533) have changed their site to say "in stock" instead of "instock, delivery 3 to 4 weeks".

Basically just wondering if anyone had some up to date information. Originally the bikes were due for delivery in February.

Cheers

I went for the basic model but I upgraded to the BOS shock and Forks. Also got a good deal on hope hoops on flows with it. I have various new bits sitting awaiting the arrival to. Just wish I knew when it would arrive.

They look brilliant, really interested to see how you get on... Was a bit put off by the upgrade pricing though, some real pisstakes in there tbh. Being offered an SLX crankset as a £121 upgrade, for example. Interesting company too...

I think the upgrade pricing is maybe different in the UK then. When I specced mine how I wanted it the price actually dropped 🙂

I tested the second up model and loved it. I had a proper day of techy and fast stuff on it, riding with some of the fastest guys around, and pretty much felt comfortable on the bike straight away. I have to sort a few things out to see if I can afford to buy one, if I do it´ll be the BOS one despite the fact that the TALAS 34´s were pretty nice. I´d like to go 1x11 on it too, but that´s only an option in Spain on the very top model which comes with carbon wheels etc.

I don´t know about delivery. For me it´s usually just a case of driving to the factory, having a coffee with the guys and heading back with a bike!

Northwind,

Yeah the upgrade prices seem steep. Thats why I just bought the base model and have sourced the other parts I want from elsewhere. Means when I eventually get the bike I will have new bits to take off an sell. Works out much cheaper that way.

Doug - may be worth giving them a call and checking, my mate works in my lbs and has recently ordered the team (2nd model down the range) and had gone for xtr brakes and 1x11 instead of xtr 2x10.
