especially odd considering the stance of their previous models. Otherwise looks really cleanBulldog said:Does anyone else think that "traditional" top tubes belong only on road and XC racing bike? I'm so used to seeing the smarter/functional low-slung & braced style that that bike just doesn't look right. Nut cruncher.
yes. something like 6" travel. thus the taller stature.Sir Happypants said:notice the front derailleur (sp?), could this be a trail bike?
My guess is they are those new maxxis trail bike tires that I've heard about.mcA896 said:what tires are those? high rollers? they dont really look like it to me.
How long is the wait for an F1 or a Fatty Fat? I want to get one of the two next year. Anyone know if this is possible?DHS said:don't worry its only a 3 year wait for a custom one....
the F1 is a production bike, so your wait shouldn't be long. although, they won't make their production run until winter....Ciaran said:How long is the wait for an F1 or a Fatty Fat? I want to get one of the two next year. Anyone know if this is possible?
Hmmm... sounds like I may want to call them and put a deposit down now. What's it like dealing with them? Are they pretty on top of things or are they lagging slackers? Do you know... is the Fatty Fat a production model or would that be a custom order?WestCoastHucker said:the F1 is a production bike, so your wait shouldn't be long. although, they won't make their production run until winter....
I had the same experience. GREAT guys. "iridebikes" on this forum is Lance - they seemed to reply to my emails quite promptly.JTC said:As for working with the Canfields, they're really down to earth and won't feed you a bunch of crap. They've let me ride several of their proto's. I've always had the impression that they'd rather be upfront and tell you how it is rather than kiss up just to get an order. I've known them for several years though, so maybe I'm biased...
chris and lance are great for CS, i had a broken bearing on a new F1 and they sent me a full set of the bearings they use fo their signature bikes at no cost. once, i broke a derailleur hangar and had a new one in 2 days, definately not a couple of slackers. as someone else mentioned, i've called on a saturday and chris answered the phone and they were out of state in the middle of a ride. he just pulled over to talk to me....Ciaran said:Hmmm... sounds like I may want to call them and put a deposit down now.

I really like the look of the bike. I need to find someone in SoCal willing to let me test ride it. Thanks a ton for the info, I am buying a new DH bike next year and the Canfield looks like it might be it.
What size is that pictured there? What's the projected frame weight?flymybike said:The Balance is a 4130 front with a 7005 rear and links, 20mm pivots built like a DH bike, full length seat tube, front derailliur compatable, adjustable chain stay from 16.125 to 16.75.
It is a small top tube but the seat tube is a medium size. We will have a sizing chart up at www.canfieldbrothers.com in a week or so. The frame weight is 10.25 lbs with shock.singletrack said:What size is that pictured there? What's the projected frame weight?
You can tell MTBR is broken 'cause I'm posting here.
