Lol - You are crazy. Cheapest I have seen in Europe is Bikeinn who had £700 odd off the S-Works. I agree the S-Works is a fine machine, but given the Carbon Comp is less than half the price I would use the £6500 saving to purchase the exact parts that I needed to make the perfect bike. This is what I have done with mine and I am still cheaper the the Expert modelYou can call me crazy.... I´ve sold my Creo 2 Expert.

Bingo - I’ve got the Comp and absolutely love it. I’m adding the 3.3 up front soon and will upgrade the wheelset this year. Still a massive saving and no carbon crank arms to replace when they get chunks knocked out of them!
Paintwork is very important for me. I could live somehow with the Comp in harvest gold, but I find the blue one boring. Also, I do not like glossy frames. But: the one in harvest gold will be difficult to sell in the future. It´s a trendy color at the moment and you have to find someone who really likes this color when time has come to sell it. And: I´ve seen the S-Works in person. It´s not a rational decision, I know. But I don´t care

Not to sound like a broken record, but are we hearing any new in-stock dates for Comp? My LBS said Summer 2024 which sounds ridiculous.

I just called my LBS here in Portland, Oregon where I bought mine and he said in their system it is showing "NO ETA" for Creo 2 arrivals. He said maybe Spring. Currently, they are all sold out and they started with only had a full size run in the Expert, a few Comps and 2 S-Works. I'm so happy I went with my gut and bought mine when I did. I really hope you can find one soon!

My LBS ordered my Comp the day before official announcement because they knew I wanted a Creo but had issues with the tire max size and a few other things. I was happy they did. The store owner also got an S-Works and to my knowledge we are the only two people for a long way around that managed to get a Creo 2 so far.Wait what?

Wow I got lucky then! I placed my order (on the Specialized website) just a day or two after it was announced, and my LBS (in CT) received the bike a week or two later. I've ridden the s-works creo 2 for a few hundreds of miles so far and it's easily the best bike I've ever owned

I feel the same way. I just finished a ride in the last half hour and the bike continues to delight me. I didn’t get mine delivered until mid November, but it was worth the wait. I’m closing in on 800km so far. I’d buy it again tomorrow.Wow I got lucky then!

LOL! By "they" I meant the bike shop, not the Specialized bike company. The bike shop only had 2 S-Works and they were the first to sell.Wait what? Only two s-works creo 2's total and I have one of them? That can't be right

I’ve seen it in person. Nobody who sees it will see it as anything other than black.The S-Works Creo 2 isn´t black. It seems to be, but it isn´t
My bike buddy (who bought a Comp model) asked me - after having seen the S-Works model: do you really like this army green color?

I spent lots of my life in “army green”…not seeing it!My bike buddy (who bought a Comp model) asked me - after having seen the S-Works model: do you really like this army green color?
Depends on how the light is falling on the bike. I think these pictures are a good example:
Mit neuem Motor und Futureshock 3.0-Dämpfung : Neues E-Gravelbike: Specialized Turbo Creo 2
Specialized zeigt mit dem neuen E-Gravelbike Turbo Creo 2 ein Bike, das nicht nur ausschließlich für staubige Schotterpisten gedacht ist, sondern einen kompletten Allrounder, welcher auch auf der Straße allen Ansprüchen gerecht werden soll.
www.bike-x.de
On the top of the frame it´s kind of an anthracite that shades to kind of a green color down to the part where the motor is placed.
Here´s another good example (the pictures that show the crank from both sides and the one with the range extender):
Specialized Creo 2 First Ride Review: The Only E-Road Bike on My Shopping List
The new Specialized Creo 2 puts a further gap between them and the rest of the e-road bike market.

The crank, the screws, the plastic that covers the motor... they are all black. The part above is definitely not black, it´s the forrest green/moss green like advertised by Specialized.
