Back on the grind today! We're working on getting the final touches finished up on these bars and then hopefully we'll do a few more tip overs to test where the bars hit again. When we do this, I'll be sure to get photos of both sides so you guys can see that the shifter is indeed safe when tipping over to the left side. Anything else you guys wanted me to take a closer look at for you while the bike is on its side? Aside from a straight drop test, that is. I know you guys are still waiting for that but we need the bars to be finalized before we do the drop testing!
Also, I'm not sure if I mentioned this previously but we found a 2009 to fit up once this bike is done! So, those of you with the earlier generation need not worry! You may have to wait a bit while we get the 2010-2012 finished up but we'll be starting on the 2008-2009 model as soon as we finish this bar. That way, people with either generation can get a properly fitting, aesthetically pleasing Canyon Cage and nobody will feel left out!
Now, I'm just trying to figure out how and when to do the Group Buy. I'm not sure I want to wait until the 2008-2009 bars are totally done before starting the Group Buy as that's going to be at least 6-8 weeks from now. I may just begin the Group Buy when we finish the 2010-2012 model because the bars for the 2008-2009 will be very similar, just altered slightly to allow for mounting on the earlier generation. Then, we can ship the 2010-2012s when they're done coming through production and the 2008-2009s when they're done coming through production 3-4 weeks after that.
