- Thread starter Jimmy_Pop

Ive got a Canfield F1 in the works right now. Its gone through phases of builds over the past month being put together with various borrowed parts from friends. Its finally to the point where Its ready to be ridden in its near completed form. My fork comes Tuesday, and my DHX for it came this past monday. Most of the other parts I've already taken care of getting, and its gonna have an SDG seat/post combo come janurary. I cant wait for Tuesday 
Color is all black, and its got parts from the companies in the sig

Well it isn't exactly a DH bike, its my dirtbike. I took it apart when the snow started to fall up here. I stripped it right down to the frame and got that sandblasted. Now i'm waiting for it to be get powdercoated. Everything that was on the bike is now all over my garage. It's a lot of parts and I'm forgeting how they all go back together. The sandblaster ruined some other parts so now I have to wait for them to get me new ones.
Its a pain looking at all the stuff just sitting there. I can't wait to get it all back together.

I got a VpFree that's just hanging from my ceiling, asking for brakes, guide and a fork for christmas but it wont happen, I broke my leg back in august after only riding it for about a month and had to sell some parts to have some money during my broken times, I'm just now gettin back to work.
I want to ride it so badly again, it was a tease being able to ride it for a few weeks and now it's just hangin there....
battleship grey vpfree, 8 track wheelset, thomson post, diablous stem/bar, northshores/gigapipe so on, just needs her 888, juicy 5's, and STS/g-ring

I dont have anything for my new dh bike yet but im going crazy waiting for the frame. All the parts should come shortly therafter.
let me guess Heikki, you're getting a sunday
Would I consider anything else? Not after test riding that thing. It blows everything else out of the water that I have ever ridden and it wasnt even set up for me. No excuses this year, Im going all out.Curb Hucker said:
I'm not really in the middle of a project per se, but I'm going to be rejuvinating/upgrading my current one a lot, as well as getting some new ones.
my 04 V10 needs to get the 5th rebuilt, Shiver rebuilt/heavier springs installed, get some lighter parts to make it lighter for racing as it's going to become a race specific bike. Despite having owned it for a while I haven't done that stuff and its needed to be done since I bought it.

well you do ride for evil/e13 so it wasnt hard to guessheikkihall said:
I rode weagles bike and it wasnt set up for me either, yet it still felt amazing. I must admit its probably one of the best racers ever
I have a Sunday Factory in blue on order but I don't know when I will get it, I keep hearing different stories. 
Last I heard was mid-late January.
Won't see many new parts, most of the stuff from my old bike until I get more coin.

Im anxiously awaiting my 223 frame to get here. Should be any day now
Well the e.13 team is allowed to run whatever we want. As a team we are not affiliated with IronHorse. We all pay for our bikes yet we all still unanimously choose to ride IronHorses. Theyve helped me out in tight situations when they really didnt need to and I really appreciate everything that they have done for me but I am in no way "sponsored" by them . I have been on one for the past 2 years and love the thing. I seriously cant say enough about how much I have enjoyed riding that bike. When I got on an early prototype Sunday I knew right away that the bike was going to be unreal. The later prototype (same as production) that I was able to cruise around on for a bit was so unbelievable I knew right away I did not want to ride anything else. DW did a great job with that thing.Curb Hucker said:well you do ride for evil/e13 so it wasnt hard to guess

I have a Canfield F1 in the works...as of tonite I got the last part so it should be built tomorrow. :love:
I too have a Sunday World Cup in the works. Black, smaller of the two sizes.
Some parts are sitting, some I haven't designed or made yet. I am going to wait until I get the frame and can really go from the "ground up" if you will. Should be pretty cool, I'm excited. I'm coming off of the best bike I have ever ridden last year and know already that the Sunday is going to kill it. I've ridden the prototype Sunday with 2 completely different set-ups (not even necessarily right for me) and from those rides along with my knowledge of the design, geometry, and fabrication I have no doubt that it will be the best bike I've ridden yet.

get a Canfield F1 in blackThreepointtwo said:
I'm getting my heckler back together after giving it almost a year off, raped it for parts for my vp-free and although I really love the free I miss the heck, it's just so damn versatile, relatively light but strong enough for light dh and jumping. I've kind of been torturing myself over what fork to get but will probably wait for a Fox 36, a while ago when people were saying "not 'til January' it seemed like too long but now it's getting close...anyway, will probably go with Juicy 7s, mostly xt drivetrain, heim guide, maybe spring for the bling and get some King hubs...want to keep it as light as I can without giving up too much strength.
Hey SuperSlow, I want to see pics of that 223 when you get it together. I also want to know how it rides. I almost bought one but decided to get a DHR instead. It's in the works. Just a couple of parts and I can put it all together. I'm friggin' pumped, I'm going from an '02 DHR.
i second that!Curb Hucker said:get a Canfield F1 in black

new cassette and chain. dura ace cassette 9 speed 27 max and a teflon coated blue wipperman 9 speed chain, over haulin the hadleys.
new seat collar, deity and a new bar, probably a deity 31.8 or somethin else, idk what.

youll see them soon enough. Ive ridden one at whistler down the garbanzo to a line. after the first 200 yards of wet garbanzo singletrack I was sold.

Damn that is kick arse! i love that saddle too. white is cherry pimp! does the durado use motorcross fork guards or are they made for that fork specifically?
The fork guards are Dorado specific and they are heavy duty. I love the saddle. It's one of those roadie sub 200 gram ones that reminds you to stand up every time you sit on it. It may not survive the first crash but won't I look nice posing by it before the maiden voyage?Jimmy_Pop said:

hehe yeah i forgot to ask about these and now i really love it with the polished ones.
the fatty fat and F1 look like fat and skinny brothers
how much does your F1 weigh, mine is 46 with a 2002 Monster that weighs 12lbs itself. The bike is near complete as it is set up right now. I put it together with borrowed parts a month ago and have been slowly putting it together as my parts come in. So far all I need to buy is some magnesium pedals, SGD I-beam setup, DB spokes for the front wheel, re-setup my tubeless system, and my WB DH2.0 comes tuesday. Hopefully the thing will weigh right at 40 or soUiUiUiUi said:hehe yeah i forgot to ask about these and now i really love it with the polished ones.

. Get a DHX for your's man, it turns the bike into a whole different creature, a better tracking, hardtail-like pedaling, super smooth machine
