Well how much would one be complete haha. I'm getting a super deal on the dhr, same with the Wildcard so that's why there my main two options.
Btw I don't want a transition (br is what you probably meant) and Intense is too $$$.
How much would a Jedi frame run?

They are $3100 this year frame only!!!
If you can find a used one theyd be cheaper but thats next to impossible. Hell I search canfields for sale all the time and its near non existance. Call Chris he might be selling his from what he told me. Hes in maui right now and in a super good mood so it might be a goood time to hit him up! He calls to rub it in . His co. # goes to his cell and hes always down to chat. Its 4:30 pm there right now!

Thanks a lot for that info! I don't think I could afford anywhere CLOSE to that price.
I'm getting the full dhr with boxxer wc, x0, thompson, dt swiss wheels for under $3000.
That or the Wildcard! I hate making decisions.

Where did you hear 3100$/frame? Still says 2700 w/DHX on their website. Chris is awesome, he gave me 200$ off one because it got a small dent during shipping on the tube connecting the seat tube to the top tube.

Thats 08 pricing and 08 models! From what Chris mentioned they are going up because of the cost of manufacturing going up!

Whoa.

 

[builttoride]

the banshee has issues this season

No it doesn't.

 

[William42]

No it doesn't.

Who cares? They're still in mark 1 prototype testing phase, you guys have been very clear about that, and you're one of the few companies I've seen to do that right. I've heard of several issues that would be issues on a production bike, but from the sounds of it you've been great at getting them sorted quickly and everybody is pumped on the final bike!

Ah...It sounds like you are getting confused with the legend, thats completely different.

 

[William42]

Oh, I was, I thought thats what we were talking about. As you were then.

 

[norbar]

Ah...It sounds like you are getting confused with the legend, thats completely different.

What are the issues with the legend? will they be sorted out before the May/June release? Can it delay the release?

 

[William42]

Fyck me I'm an idiot.

Norbar, I wouldn't stress. The only one I heard of is that a couple of the CS's have cracked in the same place. I think they've already fixed it, and unless they say otherwise, plan for that release.

 

[builttoride]

The small issues with the legend will all be sorted before release, don't worry. None of the issues are big enough to make the bikes unrideable by any means, just a few things need tweaked as expected with a pre production frame.

 

[bullcrew]

What wheelset, thats the only area I can see. Whats the frame weight by itself no shock!!!! Only reason I ask is the trek 88 is 9.6 with shock the jedi is 8,25 no shock and 510g for roco wc = 9.3lbs or so and still they are lighter so its compromised somewhere.

 

[builttoride]

510g for roco wc

Thats for the air shock right?

 

[bullcrew]

Thats for the air shock right?

Yes! Roco WC Air, doesnt suffer the fox dhx 5.0 air lack of midstroke and can take some abuse constantly. Not too mention it tracks really well on the courses as it keeps the tires glued to the ground and the bike doesnt walk.
The fox and spring comes in at 900g+ so its got to be in the 8lb range or sub 8.

 

[bullcrew]

OK makes sense! Its 3/4lb lighter than mine.
Frame weight is 7.5 lbs with axle 70g shock hardware 30g

 

[cubebiker]

Did I already post mine here? It is 40,3 lbs and I love the ride! the weight was reached when I changed to race face Atlas FR instead of Saint

 

[davet]

^^ what's the frame weight on the Commencal?

 

[dhmatt]

I picked this up for my girlfriend I have not had it on a scale yet but I will post a weight as soon as do. I am going to guess 42-43

 

[norbar]

^^ what's the frame weight on the Commencal?

5.7kg for medium, 5.9kg for large.

 

[davet]

5.7kg for medium, 5.9kg for large.

That's with shock and steel spring?

 

[cubebiker]

Yes the 5.9 Kilos is the large frame with the shipped Roco shock equipped with a 400 steel spring.
A heavy thing...

 

[IH8Rice]

damn a 5.9kilo frame and it still weighs 40.3lbs?

 

[alaska]

Here's my bike. I think it's around the 40 mark but who knows, scale is busted.

 

[CountryBoy]

I like that demo!

 

[bullcrew]

Yeah that Demo is good looking!

 

[alaska]

Thanks, I'm happy how it turned out and pumped to ride it. That Jedi you have is sweet lookin btw.

Ok here is my ride. Polished Socom w/ Fox 40, Azonic Outlaws, Hayes Stroker Ace's, MRP G2, Saint Cranks, XT drive train, blah blah. Weight...well...about 42 lbs. Hey I am not the skinny kid on the block, so either is my bike.

Nice, 42 is good anyhting between 34-43 is good 44 and above theres just too many areas to shave a lb or 2 and do it easily as well as keep it stout!
Looks good! Alot of work in the polishing.

 

[tahoetoad]

Thanks. I could get it down in the weight, but hey it all works so why change it. Had to increase the spring in the fork and that sucker is most of the weight on the bike.

 

[DanSheridan]

Heres my stallion, 37 pounds, full B.Reid spec.

 

[William42]

Heres my stallion, 37 pounds, full B.Reid spec.

Pretty sure Ben Reid runs pedals, but other then that sick bike

 

[DanSheridan]

Yea im sure he does. that was when i got the bike new. the steerer has been cut and seatpost changed to thomson masterpiece.

 

[bullcrew]

If it works dont change it, I think everyone has a weight which they like best and or feel comfortable. So the lightest bike isnt always the best option, theres things I like when my bikes at 38lbs and theres stuff I like at 35lb +.
I do appreciate a 2.5 or 2.7 DH front and 2.5 dh rear at bootleg which increases the weight significantly but also handles the moon rocks there. Most of the time its 2.35/2.35 or 2.35/2.5 DH or UST.
Did the drop at the bike park and overshot to atleast 10' down (almost flat with bumps) and still managed to rail the berm out at the bottom. New line proved to be faster and overshot it. I can say at the light weight now it handled faster out of the berm!
Note: wrists stung pretty bad!

thats a frigging awesome looking ironhorse you got there dan...
