Congrats Cougar!

Anyone got a pic of this with a different fork than the dorado?

Jedi, the original V10 killer.

Really? Didn't Canfield frames usually kill themselves?

Some of the early balances had problems. I've talked to chris about that before and they weren't too fond of their gen 1 manufacturer. The big bikes were always pretty bomb proof.

They've always been sick rigs though:

I think Im going to source the ext shock and dorado for the build too. Cant really think of a better move to make.

My wife is still using a 2012 Jedi, she is quite short and the old ones were very small, which is a shame cos I'd love a razz on it.

Cool concept bike. Not sure a 200mm shock is fitting in there though...

if you have ever touched a piggy back reservoir after a dh run (or just an ohlins ttx after bouncing twice) they get damn hot!

you could cook hotdogs in that frame when you got to the bottom of the hill as a bonus!

Couldn't help myself. I have one on the way with the Dorado Pro and Jedi Edition EXT Arma. Beyond excited to ride this bike.

That is literally the exact same reason I had made up my mind when they dropped haha. I grabbed a raw, what finish you get? I am going to have avalanche build me a woodie for it. Otherwise, I'd have went EXT arma I think.

Let us know how that goes, Mate. I heard from someone else they don't make shocks anymore, only cartridges and just haven't changed their website Frown

I hope this is not so...
