Ordered from my local bike shop, not from the Orbea website.
Bike shop called today and I had misunderstood. Orbea were waiting to see how shipments would be affected by Brexit and did some test runs. My bike has now shipped and due end of next week. Still not sure how my custom order jumped forward 5 months but happy days!
I feel for you. I had a Wild on order for March delivery but the day the Rise came out I told the shop to cancel the Wild and get me a Rise as it seemed perfect. They kindly kept both on order as told me they could cancel right up to the paint job so I checked on dates each week and they moved around a bit. I was almost going to cancel the Rise as the thought of missing Spring riding was too much for me as my friend is getting a Bullit at end of February and other guys got already but then suddenly the Rise jumped forward. I’ll be interested to see how I get on riding with the full fats but I just don’t like the feel of the 23kg bikes or the look having tested a few. I ride a lot on my own in the summer too as in Scotland it’s light until 10-11pm so don’t have to keep up with anyone. I’m sure I’d be happy with either bike but 90% of the natural enduro stuff here doesn’t need a big bike so think the Rise will be perfect. On the first 50hr fork service I’m going to put a 160mm air shaft in as my current bike has a 160mm fork and I do use it all on a couple of big slabs. That will also make the HTA 65deg and same as current Canyon which handles everything and is a 27.5 so the Rise should be even more capable with 29er wheels.While you're talking to them, ask them if Orbea can send out the shipments to Canada earlier than July please
Mine has arrived! Ordered the day of release and told June delivery but unbelievably came forward!
What’s that colour combo have you managed to get one via MyO if so that’s a first !
It was through MyO and no idea why it jumped forward by 5 months! It’s Matt black with deep red logos. I also got deep red on the links but think maybe black would have been better. I’ve not seen it in the flesh yet as we are snowed in and lockdown. It’s getting Invisiframed at the weekend then hope to get my hands on it next week. These are photos from my bike shop, Banchory Cycles, who just built it up. They have posted a video of the build on their Facebook site as well which has lots of angles.
Success!
I'm sure - but if it's components rather than frames that doesn't explain why the *order* of production of our two frames changed (and has stayed changed). Also, Orbea in theory know which frames are already sold to customers (UK prices went up so had to confirm with Orbea to keep 'at time of order' price) yet seems to be the odd frame shipping out to sit on a shop floor while sold bikes (of exact same spec) still wait for delivery.
