Where do I sign up? I want one just because it looks like a SX. As Specialized only knocks out around 200 SX's a season (and maybe none next year), Canfield might be able to have a market of riders who couldn't get their first choice 
Canfield Brothers! New ONE

Oh man PLEASE make that seat tube a little shorter....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! If this is going to be a bike to take the place of the rest of the three it needs to have more adjustable options for seat post height. I'm with bubba on the 17-18" on the large. Everything else looks fine to me. CS I can deal with, Head angle can be changed with reducer cups. I can only fix that seat tube by cutting it shorter and I am sure you guys don't want me doing that
Proto looks awesome!

If the seat tube gets shorter or they are cutable then i will definitely try to pick one up this summer. Im building another FR bike at the moment but it was originally planned to hold me over til i can get the canfield. I planned all of the parts to transfer over. With the tall seat tube it has made me rethink my plan. Ill probably hold on to what im building if the "ONE" stays on the AM side of things. Not that i think its a bad thing in any way but it just wouldn't be exactly what i was looking for in a big hit FR bike that can pedal uphill (which the weight and travel suggests it would be perfect at).Oh man PLEASE make that seat tube a little shorter....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

I had heard from Chris canfield at one time that they are only making 50 in the first batch. That might have changed over the last month or two though.Where do I sign up?

Also the price will probably be quite a bit more than an SX trail frame.
Oh man, I had a Lucky, loved my Lucky, stupidly sold my Lucky... I really like the look of this bike. Could be a great bike for the bigger riding that I do here and then I could XC my Remedy. It would be nice to have some adjustability in the wheelbase.. for some of the tighter singletrack here something a little shorter would be nice. Then throw on the long ones for a day at Whistler...

I agree, that is completely unfair to the canfield.
I'm on a canfield. I have canfield pedals. I love everything canfield.
But what are you talking about? the SXT is a very quality bike.
I think transcend agree's with me because....
specialized makes great bikes dont get me wrong.But they are a mass production bike maker,like giant/kona/norco.Targetting a general broad range of customers.
Specialized is like honda,honda makes an amazing car.
Canfield is like a koenigsegg.Dont need to explain.
approx $2300 or around that for it.
Canfield is definently quality!!!!

I don't think I'd go that far... Maybe Toyota to Lexus would be a better comparison.
I read it as Transcend subtly saying the specialized is a better bike in his opinion.
I thought it was quite blunt.
Part of the problem is that people don't think for themselves. Let's just say I've talked to someone before (no names mentioned) that were sponsored by specialized riding a newer demo 8 and they stated they don't like it as much as some of their previous bikes.
With that said, everyone listens to everyone. Think for yourself, and realize the mechanical advantage of a canfield jedi and rearward travel. Also, I am sure a lot of people have not ridden on either on here, BUT I could be wrong.
Also, until Sam Hill picked up that bike, I hardly saw that bike compared to how much we see it now. Like an Iron Horse Sunday, well what if it was a Cannondale Sunday, and no big WC name pro's rode the bike? I can bet that there wouldn't be half as many sundays!

Yeah, at %30 more, I would prefer an SX that is marketed as a DS bike. Even if this Canfield is all swoopy and similar, it's hard to say if it would even be a good DS bike without being able to take if for a ride.
I think it's quite obvious it's not a ds bike... A totem in front on the proto? How many ds bikes with 180mm travell you've seen?
only in the cat1 & cat2 classes. hahaha
Glad some of us can understand english.
So how much travel does it have in each of the two different settings?
It goes from 172mm to 191mm, 6.5 to 7.5".

I'm really liking the new design. Looks killer guys!
Heres Chris's ONE set up for DH
13.7bb, 64+ HA, 38lbs
13.7bb, 64+ HA, 38lbs
Geeeee, men! Don't you want a promo/test rider from overseas ?
Sssssickkkkk
LOL, this is a pretty sick bike. True dual purpose FR/DH
any change in geo or suspension rate when travel is adjusted? should come with dhx air option, or that air roco with piggy back thing
WalMart called. They wan't their paint job back.Heres Chris's ONE set up for DH

...I'm sure it rides just dandy.
Walmart bikes don't do anno and polished aluminum, do they? 
no anno, you are right, but this looks polished like a grille... and it has tripple chain ring goodnessWalmart bikes don't do anno and polished aluminum, do they?
...i'm sure the pivot location and build quality differences are only minor issues, this is the "DH Team" model on their website.
though no 10-speed 
what's the update you see? i can tell they aren't black.
I suppose the more playful feel is what the market is looking for. Gone are the days of the plow rig, now is the age of tech riding where the pilot needs to do the work not the bike. You gotta pedal to winI wonder why they are going with such a docile axle path? Seems like it will have very little rearward movement.
Good for jumping and pedaling I guess.
Go tell that to greg minnaar and steve peat, I'm pretty sure you'll get a good laugh there.what's the update you see? i can tell they aren't black.

Or sam hill on the demo (plow bike) or several others!!! LOL yeah I think the big rrigs are still here just with better cornering and suspension.
EIther way though the one will be a sick DH/play bike... OOOOHHHH this is only a spec of things to come..... 2011 will be a good year....

and I thought 2010 was a good year! sheeez! always a YEAR ahead! hahah you want whats tomorrow today! oh well, I guess thats how things work. The new One is difenitly a step forward in asthetics. Im just worried about the tiny steer tube for Dh use..
