For transparency's sake, you do work for/are affiliated with Giant, correct?
Post your 2014 rides!
- Thread starter Mo(n)arch
- Start date
I am a mechanic, correct. Hopefully my post was objective enough with that transparency in mind!
Well, thank you for that! I dont have anyone to ride with, and refuse to pay what the LBS charges for 'demo days' (might as well be called 'bend me over day'), so unfortunately its going to be a bit of a stab in the dark.. oh well, im used to it now. 
anywho, ill just be buying frame only, so i doubt it will be the new 2014 model.. ive got a little bit more time, i just want to figure out what i really want.
thx again

It was.
If anything your unique position adds credibility as you maintain bikes thrashed beyond the norm.
Haha, my mate is also a Giant mechanic. The new Glory does rock. Saw a whole bunch of the pre-production ones at his house last week, and it sure as hell does look immense. He's got the new Trance carbon personally too, and it's definitely the only other bike I'd consider riding in stead of my Banshee Spitfire for AM duties.
The new Glory is just so nice and neat, really looking forward to giving one a spin soon.
By "new" do you mean 2015??
Whatever the heck the 650b one is.
Oooh a Banshee that doesn't look horrible, HT badge is crazy large.
That's one complaint, lol. Imagine doing decisions on badge size.
My v10 ht badge is better than your dad's

Nice. Can you give me some input on the Troy? Im looking at building a bike I can do some enderpo stuff with and at the same time be able to do some shuttles on. My V10 got stolen last Dec so Im without a bike ever since. I moved to the palm springs area, close-ish to big bear. Currently looking at the sb66 plastic, Chilcotin and Troy. Cheers.New EndurBRO whip.

You've seen it, already?
got the p.3 pieced together. stole some parts off my winter 29r hardtail.
I chose this bike after I tried one at Interbike. I liked how agile if felt, and it was a surprisingly great climber. It's a 27.5 wheeled bike, so keep that in mind as the other 2 bikes you're interested in use 26 inch wheels. I've ridden a SB66 alloy, and it wasn't bad. It's really hard to go wrong with bikes in this category these days...
Smith happened to dominate Crankworx on the Troy and it seems to get the rep as a mini dh bike....its a trail/enduro/AM bike. Just saying... I wish the numbers were a little more aggressive.
The Endorphin fits into that line up more so than the Chilcotin. Both incredible bikes, just depends on how much you intend to pedal it.

Definitely one to look out for if you;re in the market for a new bike.

It was this frame

I know this isn't a 2014 model, it's a 2013. ...it's a 2013 because I built it last year so how about we call it a 2010 model - right up the middle??

My 2014 Canfield Jedi...

Looks nice Muddy. Why the crazy drop stem? Also, do you know what tune Vivid you have?
Huh - I though you and I were fighting tooth and nail, whatever. My Vivid has been worked-over by RockShox Authorized Service - it's kitted w/ M Rebound/L Compression.
The Stem has me better placed over the crankset. I've got some odd proportions for being 6ft; the bike feels great.
Just joined the forum, been lurking for about 6 months now though. Went ahead and ordered a 2014 Canfield Jedi, Sean was a cool dude to work with. I'm coming from a Specialized Status2. Will post pics when it shows up

Awesome. ...look forward to a ride you never believe. ... absolutely love mine along with all the other Canfield bikes I own.... hands down the most rider oriented company out there....

Bikepark saison is just starting in Germany.
Can't wait to be back on a DH bike. My 2013 DH saison has been stoped very early because I totaly destroyed my shoulder at the end of May.

For the longest time, I thought this emoticon was barfing, indicating disapproval. Now I understand that it's drool. Positive!
you very well know that you can't post up a beaut like that and NOT tell me the weight!!!
My guess is 33-34LBS but not 6LBS like road bike below...
http://www.culturecycles.com/2012/03/worlds-lightest-road-bike-6-lbs-2-7-kg/
I do not know the weight. I am carbon fetishist but not a weight weenie
But it is quite light
It has proper brakes and tires and decent pedals with a steel axle und pins.
And the Carbocage chainguide is considerably stronger than an e.13 or MRP.
I am 175 cm (5 feet 9 inches) and the bike is a size large with a 28 mm Straitline stem and a -1.5° angle set.
There are also two other bauties
My and my wifes Trailbike
but I have to say I am a Santa Cruz dealer. So I haven't paid the retail price.
Maybe I will weight the V10 tomorrow.
But I only have a bathroom scale.

2014 GT Sensor with a lot of upgrades include the amazing Pike, E13 wheels, Race Face cockpit, and some parts from my old bike. The bike is so much fun to ride. Felt like riding my Sunday but even more controlled.
lol it's a double bro but I think I have a feeling it will be a single eventually with a the new E13 42 EX cog. You are correct the Expert comes with a triple but that is a Race Face crankset. This is the XT from my previous bike.
Nice - does an external headset exist, to tighten up the headtube area??Picked this up today. Other than the lack of end plugs on the bars and a tired rear tire, this thing is golden.
