Same. Have my works two brand new 2014 Jedi frames sitting in front of me. Would love to try one, and can't wait. But I won't give up my Zerode(especially at a loss)to try one. If I didn't own the Zerode I'd be building and not typing now ;-)
Building up a Canfield steel 29er though for long rides and commuting. Short arse stays should make it hella fun.

i think the new jedi medium is to big "reach 41.9cm" for riders 170-180cm.. i am 178cm and was perfect on the 2013 jedi reach 40cm?...

I'm really curious about them. I also really like they upped the sizing on them.
I've apparently gone full retard with this 650b thing.
Hopefully it'll be red soon!

Found this old VT frame in the basement during my winter clean out. 2 sec from throwing it out I got the idea to slap on a super old shock to short shock it. Think Phoenix will suit it as a name, 64ish ha with 13ish bb and 4x4 travel, this thing is going to rock berm/jump trails. Yes I know it is butt ugly but ugly bikes also need to get whipped hard
Plan is a new little longer shock but with a -2 headset to give back some reach and steepen it up a bit to quicken up the steering a touch. And off course some fresh paint

I just ordered the 111 frame, can't wait to build it up. Have you gotten any saddle time on it? Also, could you tell me what size the rear shock is? I might swap mine out for a DB air.my 2 bikes for 2014... Operator is still up for sale (might just replace the frame with the new carbon one) and my 2014 process 111, should be fun for my summer trip to switzerland!
I just bought a 2013 Giant Borey 1. It's awesome
First impressions after a 2 months break from DH and riding it for the first time:
- It's so so (SO) much stiffer than my Voltage FR
- The large size of the bike and geometry feels a lot more natural for my size
- It jumps beautifully and just rides like the real deal; something with thousand of $$$ and hours of R&D behind it, not something built up out of a Frankenstein mixture of opportunistic and cheap parts.
- **** yeah!
Ghetto-mounted the Saint brake hose as it's too short, Goodridge hose is on the way and a Zee mech as I don't like SRAM's noisy X9 clutch offering

watch the goodridge...it doesn't like to play nice with saint calipers and levers. even after a fresh bleed, they didn't feel as solid as ol' fashioned shimano hose.I just bought a 2013 Giant Borey 1. It's awesome

Here's my new 150mm travel rig for nearly all but DH duties. Got the Zerode for DH.
Hills Hoist in mint condition there, bike looks ok too I guess.
Is that a carbon rear rotor?

yes it is carbon!
After a month or more of waiting for all the parts, wheels are finally built and she's ready to rumble. It's a 2014 Spitfire v2 with 650b wheels and dropouts currently in the low setting. XFusion Sweep fork, CCDBA, purple Pro 2s on WTB Frequency i32 rims, TRS+ cranks with direct mount M-type ring, SixC bars, and Wolftooth 42t cog highlight some of the build items that I was most stoked about.

A 42t? Where the hell are your riding that thing. I dont' think I'ev ever wanted a 42 on any mtb ever. Even my DH is a 38-36
wolftooth 42t cassette ring, not chainring.
Its a 42t rear cog; poor (sane) mans XX1 cassette
Code:
I havn't rode it yet Theres 3 feet of snow and it's -15 up here right now The length of the rear shock is stock 184X44mm. I don't really plan on changing the rear shock seeing as I've always liked the monarchs (they do the job pretty damn well for a "basic" shock).
So far on mine I've changed the wheels (ztr arch on dt swiss 350s), guide (mrp am-g), narrow-wide race face chainring, zee derailleur and saint shifter (1x10) and am awaiting my sixc 35 800 bars and 35mm atlas stem from race face now.
Should be one of the most fun/playful bike I've ever ridden!
I heard a 42t chainring was enduro, so I bought one
. Nah its a 34t chainring, 42t large cassette cog. Dan-o got it right, it's the poor man's alternative to 11 speed. Haven't had a chance to really put it through the ringer yet but it shifts very well, as well as any regular XT cassette really.
finished building this just before the end of last season, all ready for 2014!
lawdy me i am loving these zerodes
I cannot wait for the while stuff to disappear.
A new build with some budget parts, single speed.

Thank you MP83!
^^ That Canfield looks awesome! Hopefully we start to see them in Australia now, as we finally have an importer.
Here's my rig for 2014. Much the same as last year. View attachment 115036
