Most of my drivetrain/brakes/cockpit is getting swapped over from my Balance, but new Deity stem to match the links, upgrading to EXT Era and Storia (stoked!) and Atomik Carbon hoops laced to i9 Hydras. 8)
Tilt orders with expedited air shipping should be hitting doorsteps as soon as today!

It was a project finding everything, but I’m building up my Tilt with a 12-speed Shimano drivetrain. It was what I could find: XT shifter, SLX cranks and an XTR derailleur. 4-piston XT brakes. The chain was actually the hardest thing to find in stock. I built up a set of wheels with Shimano hubs and DT Swiss XM 481 rims. All my bikes get Selle Italia Flite saddles. I can fit a 175 dropper, so that’s what it gets.
Nothing fancy, but it all works.
I’ve got all the parts needed to build it sitting and waiting for the frame and fork to get here!

Thought about selling to take advantage of supply issues . Eph that, I’m jonesing to build and shred it .
I've had my new medium Tilt for about a month now (stock build from Canfield's website). Waiting for a small Tilt to arrive for the misses (should get here next month). Loving the Tilt - quick, nimble, fun!

Got a Raw Tilt frame on the way - Air shipping cutoff was last night (apparently extended from the original cutoff of May 31st) so hopefully soon?
Here's what I have waiting for it:
DVO Diamond D1 - Got a sweet deal on a used one, used extra budget to replace the lowers DVO Jade X Coil Magura MT5 HC brakes Hunt Trail Wide wheelset Specialized Purgatory front & rear (they were buy-one-get-one-free) Microshift Advent X drivetrain, GX cranks Oneup V2 dropper w/Wolftooth magura-clamp remote SDG Radar saddle, Canfield logo Funn Equalizer stem Nukeproof Horizon V2 carbon bar Pedals and Grips are still TBD, I've got some stuff laying around.
Sold my Tilt and really regret it. Built up two brand new S-Works (Stumpjumper EVO and Epic Evo). Neither of them climb as good as the CBF on the Tilt. That CBF was simply amazing!
All to say, I am about to order another Canfield, maybe a Lithium or a Balance. May do a fun 27.5 thrasher build.
Any word from Canfield on when the next batch of Lithiums lands? The website says September. https://canfieldbikes.com/collections/lithium-long-travel-29er/products/lithium-raw-frame-frame-shock

No word on pre-orders, so I'm guessing that September estimate is a bit... optimistic. Tilt frames with air shipping were supposed to arrive "Late July" but no updates since end of June.
