Balance is built, check.
Tilt frame on its way, suspension ready next week, check.
Found a Jedi for those days I don't want to get beat up at the parks, arrives end of next week, check.

Super excited to be all metal all the time :)

Congrats stripes!!! Looking forward to a full report.

I need a Canfield. Badly. Super stoked for you.

Please let me know if there are any warning stickers attached to the Tilt frame precluding its use on anything more gnar than blue trails. Apparently this is not unexpected these days. I like to ride the occasional black 😝

Yes, yes you do :)

I'm pretty sure the Tilt can handle quite a bit :) @Don_1138 has told me how capable it is. Mine is going to be 150mm front and 125mm rear, at least to start. This is going to be a 27.5x2.8 bike that I can ride for all day trips and not die. If it turns out I want to bring the rear back to full strength, I'll do that, but I want a very distinct feel from my Balance.

I'm definitely getting to know the Balance. Today was my fourth ride on it. The first one was at a small DH bike park that you have to pedal up, the second was Trestle bike park, the third at my local fireroad and down some stairs :), and the fourth back at the small DH park.

I'd love to do a comparison vs the Megatrail and Balance. I can't tell you about the Trail Pistola. The only time riding that bike caused my hips a lot of pain (I had similar problems with the Shred Dogg), so that's why I tried to force two Megatrails to be two different bikes.

Here, have a picture of me working on cornering at Trestle on the Balance. :)
