had a notification today that the Spectral CF8 is in stock in my size, just had a quick look and they seem to be pretty well stocked.
however, I've decided against them after a few day, it just seems to be overpriced, those carbon bars seem a bit gimmicky and hard to adjust.
also, just pulled the trigger on the Orbea Wild FS M20 from UKBikesdepot.com (cyclegear halifax)
it seems like a bargain

H10 is what I would have gone for too if I could have, side by side theres no contest! it has better brakes, better shock, Kiox display and only £240 more.
Don't know what benefits the carbon frame offers, it probably saves about 300g but is far less durable. I remember when carbon first started getting pushed by the bike manufacturers and they claimed it was possible to build frames in whatever fancy shapes they like not just the traditional straight lines, well look at the alloy wild FS and the carbon FS side by side, they seem to be able to do it with alloy too!

The H10 is alloy ? I went for the spec over anything and the H10 is in my budget range and it was available , I love carbon my Santa Cruz is full carbon got some nice dings in it which makes me crinch especially when you pay so much for them ?

Just been for a look at Alpha Cycle Worx in Mold. They’re a pretty new Orbea dealer but it’s a really nice shop. Probably about to reserve a Rise with them (due in June/July apparently) but they currently have a large Wild FS M-Ltd (so nice) and a small/medium H10 (I think). They had a medium again D50 as well which looks cool if you’re into road.

I have found that many small independent bike shops don’t have up to date websites showing current stock levels, so it is best to actually phone them and speak to them in person rather than solely relying on the internet

Also, using the local dealer search function on manufactures websites reveals more bike shops than a google search may show, and again calling these shops and speaking in person reveals more bikes available then the internet would have you believe

Wheelbase in Cumbria has Speed Test a few XL in stock, nothing from your list though.

that is exactly the same as post number 5 in this thread, apart from the words "speed test" have been inserted in the middle of the sentence.
and this post is quite old...
and the user is brand new and has 3 posts, all of which follow the same pattern, randomly quote something from earlier in the thread and insert some tech jargon in the middle of it...
