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.Yeah did think about the spectral on 8 but decided against it too , I just ordered a Orbea Wild FS H10 form cyclegear Halifax rude not too with 10% off , preferred black but went with red ?

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