Im looking to get a new DH frame. I want it to be pretty dh specific. Right now im looking at: Canfield Brothers F1, Turner Dhr, Foes Fly, and Santa Cruz v10. The price has so be under $2300(USD) new. Anything hear about these bikes? Pro/Cons? Pics? Reviews? anything
DH Frame
- Thread starter canfieldF1
- Start date
uh... judging by your forum name, i would be a little confused if you went with anything else but the canfield?
Thats what I was thinking.Originally posted by fasterTHANyou

What about a Karpiel Disco Volante?
...anything but that canfield piece o' crap.............
Ya, because we all know Karpiels are the best bikes ever
hmm, is it just me, or was that some bitterness...

It's.........gasp....just too painful.....Originally posted by Fulton
??
please explain.........
MMike why don't you look at your girl a little to ease of the pain?
@ theoriginal poster:
without having my own canfield F1 yet.
GET ONE!!!!!
take this with a grain of salt, since i really have no riding time on the F1.
i just judge it by my Canfield Fatty fat which is an awesome bike, but a little heavy. the F1 should be way lighter and ride similar.
you will love it
can't wait to get mine
i feel the fly is as good if not a better descender then the bikes mentioned given the right enviroment(duh). if your trails are tight, technical, and not the steepest of dh trails, i feel there is not better bike for the job. then again, im biased.
I've ridden a friend's fly ONLY on DH trails and I thought it was very well suited. It felt like my turner just a little steeper but that could be easily fixed with fork height etc.
In that list are very different riding bikes. You want a couch or something to finesse around a bit?

This will sound silly but: Brooklyn Race Link.
You may now laugh...
However, i had a little parking lot kind of test on a Brooklyn Race Link. It was 44lbs, I sprinted from one place to another and i could not feel bob, every pedal stroke was blissfully efficent. it felt light (it was only 44lbs with an 888). The guy in charge of distribution here said he got a Race Link under 40lbs. now thats amazing.

Now there's a reccomendation as pointless as this whole post. We know nothing about how or where Mr. Canfield Advocate rides or what he dislikes about his current canfield if he has one at all. What ever happened to the sticky about how to post eloquent questions.
