i'll be the first to say it... i like the look of the old one better. not that it really matters because it looks like the same suspension design and if it rides good looks don't matter. so hows it ride?

Demo9 hate has become really boring.

Dude is a nice guy, lucky, call him spoiled, but a good kid.

I envy him a little for his bikes, but no hate.

Bah.

I rode C2 wheels all last season. AMAZING, I'm pushing 210lbs and they held up better than any wheels I've ever ridden! The brothers do it right and I'm sure the 2k11 will be nothing short of perfection.

I rode a 2010 Jedi all last year. LOVED it ! When I saw the well thought out changes to the new frame, I knew it was the next bike to own. FYI the most linear setting is a bit more progressive than previous designs. Only rolled around town so far......but its true love !

Given the canfield's usual brilliance I'm sure that this frame improves on the 2010 performance wise.

However, I still like the aesthetic of the 2010 more. Just something about those straight tubes that makes it look so much meaner.

mtakahas - I got mine last week. Rode it around in the street last nite. Just a tad slacker than my '10. I think I was one of the early ones, but I know that the other frames are on their way. I cant wait to see what everyone comes up with. All I can honestly say is that the pics are really hard to do it justice. In the light of day its stunning

I was anticipating on the frames arriving in another week or so... and then another week or two after arrival for them to go through customs... then shipped to me another 3 days... I ordered the titanium grey color with Red links/red grapics, and the Avalanche rear shock :D

Sounds like you got one of the early ones, cause I don't think the boat with the main bulk of the frames has arrived yet... Will post up pics after I get mine built :thumb:

The boat arrives on the 3rd, a week or so in customs. A few days in invitory and inspection and then shipping to you. Avalanches are being built today and will be in the warehouse when the frames arrive.

Gullub01's frame was air shipped.

You got it Rice, top hole being most linear setting. Slightly more travel with each hole too, something like a half inch total between the 3 holes.

The 3 travel increments are 8.1 < 8.25 < 8.5 .....linear to progressive. Starting from the top like someone else said. Like said before, the "most" linear (8.1'') is still a bit more progressive than previous Jedi frames. Having not had much trail time.....You can notice the slightly shorter chain stays and the lower BB. The angleset is a pretty cool tool aswell. This is such a customizable bike, you can set it up however you like, or for different riding areas.
