Very cool to see this come to fruition and I wish them all the best in making a go of it. Pricing seems downright reasonable when you consider the MSRP companies are asking for their premium frames ranges from $4000-5000 CAD (and sometimes without a shock too!). I am assuming you don't get a chainring, cassette and chain for the $4850, so add on a premium shifter and derailleur for comparables and we're more or less right in line.
I am curious why a short-ish eye-to-eye and stroke shock was chosen. Strictly due to packaging? It would have been nice to fit a 210x5* in there because that's the most available size on trail bikes these days but hardly a dealbreaker.
