Guy said he had all kinds of issues and that it was a nightmare. I really liked the bike, but didn't want to chance it. Wish I had pulled the trigger, though, before the end of Feb as the prices jumped in March.
I love my Omega, but there are a few riders with buyer's remorse, either warranted or otherwise. The Enviolo "Automatiq" is something special, but perhaps not for everyone. After one year of ownership I still can't get over the novel thrill of automatic shifting, inasmuch as I still enjoy the sportiness of manual shifting from time to time. That's why I still rotate my rides between bikes.
I believe a few owners have overused the Enviolo app to radically alter the cadence settings, and then wonder out loud why they can't find a natural pedal feel. I found the default setting "thinks" intelligently for my style of riding, and while I'm a "tweak-er" by nature, I have been happy leaving well enough alone, so I have not monkeyed around with the app settings.
While most Omega riders on the owners forums seem like very happy campers, a few have vociferously voiced complaints that do not in any way match my experience. (I can't offer a qualified comment about what other riders might come up against). My nitpicks are somewhat spongy Zoom brand brakes which my mechanic just adjusted, and so far, so good. Also, since the "Automatiq" employs some kind of cadence-torque sensing hybrid super-secret-magic-mumbo-jumbo formula, there is the kind of
slight pedal delay/lag that you will typically experience with a cadence sensor bike. I've grown accustomed to it, and I generally find the pedal feel quite natural.
I ride primarily on dirt and gravel roads and paths. I'm perfectly fine with the rigid fork. The 2.8" inch tires provide enough cushioning for my butt, but that's obviously a very subjective determination.
