What happened to Canfield Bros?
- Thread starter ChrisRobin

Mostly vendors that sold their bikes. I hit them up and they said big news soon.

E-bike.
I’ve said too much.
Still got a frame Chris sold me for $150 that was his ride.
There is some changes to the website, and name Just Canfield Bikes now. Chris is only mentioned in the bio as part of the beginning. But not on staff.
I know they ate/were great bikes. It just seemed to me that DH bikes is what he was known for. And then he stopped making them. In my experience, the company then disappeared.Still loving mine.
reminds me of superco. There was a page that was written by terry on the history of brooklyn and superco, then she left and it was re-written in the first person, rather than third.

Canfield Brothers part ways to form separate Canfield Bikes & CBF Suspension entities
For the past 20 years, Chris and Lance Canfield have been building impressive bikes that were all well ahead of their time. Recently, we haven’t heard much out of Canfield Brothers in terms of their own bikes, but we have seen a lot of the Canfield Balance Formula suspension system that has been...

I wish them both the best. Seems like Lance has a genuine passion for keeping the bikes alive, so hopefully he can resurrect and keep things on trend a little more, however that is. Maybe overseas carbon, maybe smaller locally sourced aluminum.
GG doesn't have capacity to make anything other than their own frames at this point
They still should have gone with my idea of "Canfield Brother" instead of this "Canfield Bikes" businesseven BRAIN picked it up

Hell, they could have saved most of the rebranding costs by just going to "Canfield, brothers"
Oh Canfield brother, where art thou?
The brotherly situation isn't looking great, the formula being a source of a dispute.

reading between the lines (my own interpretation): Lance wants to make the company bigger, Chris wants to focus on licensing the suspension (perhaps to not have to deal with manufacturing/distribution headaches).

More cool shit being built is always good. GL canfield
Now more importantly are there any pics of their prototype dh bike that was raced at masters worlds? I remember a vital bike check of one it had a huge skull shape head tube gusset but i cant find it

There is some pic of it on PB and tucked in the MTBR forums. It's a 200mm bike with the newer Canfield suspension. Takes either wheel size and a double crown.
That one has the older iteration of the CBF layout. The newer one has shorter links in order to fulfill the idiotic mandate of hosting a water bottle inside the main triangle (because everyone at PB knows staying hydrated trumps suspension performance).
I'm betting on them using the new layout, as explained by Chris on this video:

That would be pretty fun. But, alas, @jonKranked is correct, we’re 100% focused on our own production, as sales demand is still higher than our production capacity. It’s been going up consistently, and lead times are finally starting to come down (actually have Size 2 in stock right now). Capacity to make frames for other brands would still be a ways out, though.
Yup, that's it. Lance's idea was to push the boundaries of travel and short chainstays (I think 420mm was this bike)on trail bikes. With everyone wanting downcuntery bikes. I would love to see this go into production.
A hard tail?!
