Anyone here still on a Canfield Jedi?

I know the Canfield brothers aren't doing anything anymore with their bikes, but since the Jedi has always been on my DH-bike-I've-always-wanted list, I figure I might as well find a 2017 model (their last) for 2020. Geo looks modern enough and comparable to say, a Norco HSP, and my beat up parts from my Intense 951 Evo will swap right over, except for a seat post and a quick revalve on my Woodie shock.

The Norco HSP looks awesome in person but it has a funky shock size and would require a different rear hub.

Any feedback from current Jedi owners?

I have one and I love it.
I want to try out some other bikes just because there are so many awesome bikes out there, one being the Norco HSP but my Jedi is so good I don't want to give up.

Even though Canfield seems to be MIA, every time I have ever had a question either Vin back in the day or more recent Sean has gotten back to me within a day. Awesome dealing with them!!!

If there's one thing I know, it's that bike manufacturers that fall off the radar like this always come back swinging with wildly successful projects.

Anyone seen my silencer?

Chris Canfield just won US Masters on his '17 Jedi with a 29er wheel up front. I'd say it is still relevant enough if you want to give it a go. I have had 3 different Jedi iterations in the past and they were all very fun and confidence inspiring.

Would you say the Canfield Jedi from 2017 still has pretty modern geometry for its time? Also, you think it could work as a super enduro bike? Thinking bout maybe getting one.

Works great as a mullet. Definitely size up to feel more modern.

Went together easy. Lacking some fork bumpers, otherwise good to go. Might get some laps in before everything local is snowed in yet.

Looking at BB height (352mm) and HA (63), I think it will take a 27.5 rear wheel. Going to get a few full 29 rides in first.
