@kten your bike looks well with the regular decals, did you give the supplied stealth ones a thought ?

Than was the first thing I was going to do but after seeing your, it looks pretty good standard.
Honestly I never considered the stickers…I was like a kid with a new toy and didn’t even look into the box apart from to grab the brake line guide.

You went with the 57mm offset?

Yeah 57mm, the 47mm comes with straight top crown as you pointed out. 57mm comes with the drop crown and I've already confirmed the fork fits.

And superthankful your Oso is a medium otherwise you would have been up for a drop crown too

I think you could have squeezed the 47mm offset version onto your bike with its small headtube and still ran a 29" wheel.
Was thinking futureproofing and the fact that it fitted on test fit of the comp.

This is a 29 wheel on the flat crowned 47mm offset Dorado. Pretty sure the headtube length on this is 120mm, same as the Oso...I think there's a sliver of light in there lol.

Saving my fat knobby Argotals for the DH fork build. They would have painful to fit and remove for nothing o_O

EDIT: Dont know if you have watched it but it was the sway info that made me sent the Comp back and buy the Expert. If you have a spare 40 mins.

I can say you won't be disappointed with your choice. It is encouraging some silly behaviour though...my ability and reality got a little mixed up today and the fork/bike saved my ass...one of the biggest cases of my life. I was thankful to have every single mm of travel.

I have a new Mezzer sitting here and I'm seriously considering sending it back and swapping it for another Dorado.

How are you finding the Tmac pedals? @kten , Ive seen some reviews say they are too big of a platform unless its a gravity focused bike?

I love them and have them on my trail bike too (which I guess is gravity focused). Reliable, good grip, can’t really fault them apart from price. Size 45/46 Euro shoe FYI.
