Anyone get one yet? Tempted to try one out and some of the first rides hinted at a pretty amazing ride. Based on Covid adjusted pricing they seem almost reasonable for a North American made bike.

Yeah...can't wait for mine. I am thinking of doing a custom Cerakote colour, but not sure. Hard to pick a colour off of a computer screen. Would hate to screw up the bike that already looks fantastic.

I'll keep it stealth black if cerakote is extra, any insight on cost?
Also unsure how that's handled, do they reach out to us, or do we need to contact them and make a request?
Yeah cost is $750 but that's CDN so about a $1.44 for you guys! If I do it I'm doing it through my LBS, but I'm about 75% sure I'm not gonna get it done. If you look at the Arrival info page when they talk about colours there is a link to the Cerakote page. There are a ton of colours to chose from. I'm guessing as you bought direct from them you'd have to contact them if you have any interest.

Yeah, picking another color is not worth over $1000 to me, heck I'd probably pay $250 just for the labor of them cleaning equipment for the different color.
Anyways, stealth black it is.

They said on the podcast that frame only sales will be in 2022.
Great idea of offering options to change travel in the future. I would totally like that.
Not too crazy about not being able to slam a 175 dropper on the SZ2 and not really feeling a 157 only because I need to buy new hubs.
But a stunning bike.

Has anyone seen these in the wild yet? Curious how bad the dropper options are. Also was told they will sell frames next year but only bundled with their rims which would be a negative for me as I just want frame only.

I don't think many are in the wild yet.
I started the We Are One bike owners facebook page a month ago. There are two members and neither have bikes yet lol.
I started it hoping to find more people to get more input on the bikes. I guess I was too early

Yeah, supply chain issues I guess. At this rate, I think I may just have to wait for 2023 models.
I know of two delivered locally here...both to bike shop employees. The weather here has been so abysmal that between the two of them they only have about 3 rides in total. No real feedback yet. I'm hoping to get a firm delivery date for mine today or tomorrow.

I’m in November, I imagine end of November. WAO did contact me because UPS shipping to America does ask some personal information because of the cost of bike / insurance I believe. They just wanted to confirm that it wouldn’t be an issue, because someone in USA was not okay giving UPS personal info. Poor guy may have had his WAO by now had he been okay complying.

Dang, that sucks man. I wonder if that's going to carry over to direct sales bikes as well? I ordered an SP2 with the standard paint and a 150mm dropper for their November block. Tyler from WA1 called me a month ago to let me know about UPS needing personal info for US deliveries to get through customs and he also told me my bike was slated to be complete and shipped by the end of the first week of November. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that's still the case lol.
Also, did the bike shop you ordered from have any reasons for the delay?
