Has anyone got a DVO Jade X coil shock?

Due to frame size I am limited to what shocks I can fit, a standard reservoir will hit the frame on full compression so it needs to be one of the figure 8 reservoirs like the Ohlins TTX 22M or Fast Fenix but they're rather spendy.

I was hoping to pick up a bargain Ohlins on eBay yesterday but it went for silly money.

Not an X but currently awaiting delivery of a normal Jade from DC Cycles. Can't wait to try it, and got it for £315. They are doing the Jade X for £415.

Both the cheapest I found anywhere.

How are you getting on with the jade?

Price is back up to £500 after briefly being £400 but no stock of the size I want still.

Only a couple of rides so far, but liking it a lot.  Went with a 500lb x 2.5" VALT spring which seems spot on, if a little short physically, and the base tune from the DVO website was not far off - a little more LSC and HSC and it was there.

Prices on DC seem to fluctuate - the Jade dropped another £15 to £300, but then there were more sizes OOS.
