PS: that is a clean damned bike room. You could perform surgery in there!

I am loving the looks of this bike and super excited to start reading more reviews on it and potentially getting a test ride from some local shops that will be getting them in.

I ride a 2019 Santa Cruz Bronson right now, so this bike is VERY similar in the style of bike. I do however like the 29er wheels and the geo seems to be exactly what I would choose if I could design my own bike. A little longer and slacker than my current bike, but not near the extremes or more "purpose built" bikes that you are seeing a lot of lately. This seems like the ultimate do it all bike for me like my current Bronson is.

I know they aren't the cheapest bikes and don't want to get in a discussion about the pricing. They only offered the highest end builds currently, but you do get a lot for the money I think. Comparing them with Santa Cruz and other "high end" companies... they are right in line for pricing, sometimes even seeming like a decent deal in comparison.

Anyone out there have any seat time on one or any experience with one in the flesh? Anyone out there order one?

I think I got the last SP1. WAO guys were great when I called trying to get one directly. They kept me informed during the build process, even during the delays.... :-) UPS however, what a disaster. She is at home now, already taking on a few tweaks here and there. No dirt time yet. I can say the weight PB reported for their test bike of 32 is for the lower spec build. This one in a size 2 came in at a touch over 31 with pedals.

Just got mine today all ridewraped up. Looks great! The Cerakote is awesome too. Wrapping it was most likely overkill. I'll post a photo this weekend.

I've compiled all the available manuals for the SP2. Might be use useful to you https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OxOQL5z10YHfDMumwIR2d0y3qL2OQk7g?usp=sharing

How did you get the ISCG tabs? I was told they were available yet. That was 2 months ago though

300 isn’t taking advantage. It’s just trying to get shipping back.

Yes, email them about this one.. It comes with the top guide, but does not come with the bottom bash plastic.

Finally finished setting it up! The frame Ride Wrap install was done very well. Much better than my fork install! Also got the chain guide and a oneup bash. Kinda think this post is a tiny bit too high for me though. I could probably slam a oneup 180, get a bit more drop, and have the perfect seat height. I'll try it out first. I get similar leg extension to my road bike since I got the 170 cranks. Might help on the steep access roads/trails.
Also noticed chipped "paint" on the inside of the frame at the lower shock mount. It doesn't concern me structurally and it's hidden by the lower shock pivot. Just sharing since others might have a similar experience.

Sorry for the mediocre photo.
