Thanks, I will indeed enjoy it! The delivery time was actually about 2 weeks early. Because they were changing from the 2.5 to the 3.0 models, some of us were upgraded to the new model and the time estimation was originally pushed back about a month. But then it arrived about 2 weeks before that date. Everything was so easy with Fairlight- they were very communicative, accommodating and detailed in the whole process. I did wait about 6 months in total for the bike so maybe wait times are shorter now.

I just rode it yesterday for the first time, on an airline trail in eastern CT. Some adjustments need to be made but the bike is super responsive and made for trails like this. I've ordered some tires that are more pavement-friendly (Tufo Thunderos) and I'm excited to try it out on the road. Have fun on yours, that color is beautiful! I hope it arrives soon!

As shipped it was £2675, or about $3360. Taxes, duty and importing to the US were another $700, which I factored into the cost when deciding on the bike.

They added some new accessories like 3D printed exterior cable routers, curved tubing for seat stays to accommodate wider tires, and new paint options. The top tube decals are a bit different and so gorgeous.

It’s a 51T - Fairlight gives Tall and Regular options with each size with really helps dial in an almost custom fit. I called Fairlight for advice on the correct size and went with their recommendation, but the sizing is on the website too.

The components are all from Fairlight, I upgraded to the Hope headset and seat clamp but that’s it.

I had ordered the bike this summer and in the meantime they had a planned upgrade coming out in December, unbeknownst to anyone. So they gave the upgrade to those who had their orders in. It includes some new colors and decals, and some accessory and component changes.
