no wheres close, just because it has a pulley and that same top tube doesnt mean its an F1
SWEETNESS that hawt

Pretty nice looking, great lines too. As far as looks, looks a lot like the F1, Turner and Demo all rolled in to one.
the built up white frame looks mean.Twizzlerdh said:
WOW...that's a busy frame. Do you think he could put some more "stuff" on that thing.
its the bastard child of a nicolai and a canfield
Is this guy from Alaska? I saw a guy up at Whistler 2 seasons ago riding a homemade proto-bike that looked a lot like a canfield.. black ano'd and looked mean as hell
Thought the exact same thing.lovebunny said:
I like it.
I like it...like someone pointed out, it has really nice lines. Looks tough.
I saw one of these in Kelowna (Gillard), British Columbia earlier this spring. Apparently built by a guy from there. I was told there are only 3 in existance. Pictures don't do it justice, its a sweet looking ride. Everything on it looks machined. A friend grabbed a photo:

Are the tubes rectangular and machined?Twizzlerdh said:
The first bikes I made had a tube set like that.
I just bought his last frame besides the blue one he has for himself. He got it powder coated white for me.
This frame is SICK!!! Incredible design and workmanship.
Can't wait to build her up with my Avy DHF 8 forks and DHS rear shock. It will have 9.5" of rear travel according to Dan and he said it pops off little bumps really nicely which I like.
He told me it's not as plush over smaller stutter bumps as it could be but that has to do with the way we have our shocks valved. We both used our shocks from the 9" travel big Hit linkage set up he also makes.
I'll post a pic as soon as I can.

It is obviously VERY similar in the suspension design but there are differences.
Regardless, the overall frame has an incredible look and solid feel to it and I can hardly wait to tear it up on this baby!
As for it being over built, I disagree. Its for heavy duty riding and is built accordingly.

yeah...the white frame looks good ! Big N´burly...
yeah it's not fair to let Canfield "own" that type of suspension design and claim all others are rip-offs, just like other suspension designs get crossed-over too. I like it, plus the shock is at a more asthetic angleAvy Rider said:

I'll have to weigh it as I'm not sure yet.
It's beefy and definitely not the best choice for a racer watching his grams!
I'm just a hack freerider who likes to bomb the occasional downhill when the mood strikes me so I love the burlyness.

Unfortunately, he doesn't do this as a fulltime job and does not have a website. Who knows, things may change in the future for him. he's a rally talented designer and he also builds the 9" travel linkage kits for the earlier model big hits.
I'm very lucky to get the last frame he had. There may not be any more made.

that bike looks pretty cool, but super heavy. I also like the oldschool duel 24'' pics, reminds me of the good old days, 35lb wheelsets.
Here she is. The reservoir isn't mounted yet but it sits in the bracket on the top of the down tube.
Getting the headset installed tomorrow.( Chris King Steelset.)
