Nice set up Chris. Come down and ride with us this Sunday if you can, and put some dirt on it.

I'm doing a short tour of LPQ in the morning.

Just out to the water fall and back frome the ball fields on the east end.

Gotta keep it short so I can get back and get stuff ready for the game.

To bad i did not see this before so i could have met up with you but nice seeing you out there any way, Maybe next time.

Now impression's of first ride.

Wow - All i can say is wow, It handled beyond my expectations. This honestly by far the best/funnest 29er i have owned/ridden.Climbed great,very flickable imo,front end pulls up easy which i think is great,very easy to control on the descents. The only two thing's i plan to change is the bars to something a little wider and adding a ks900 or 950 post.

Oh yea and hopefully my new lowers come in next week so i can put on my front brake as there were a couple times i needed them haha which i also think this bike is awesome with a 120mm fork and all thoughts of lowering to 100 are out.

Hey Carlos,
I will tell you this is by far the best,most fun bike i have built since my Nomad and could not be happier (especially now that i have a front brake haha) - Unfortunately from the rain and just getting my new lower's from RS under warranty (Thanks doug/mike at notb) last week i have only been doing street miles.

And for buying, I bought the frame directly from canfieldbrothers and was $650 shipped. let me know if you want to check it out in person or even meet up some where for a test ride.the only thing i want to do is add a adjustable seat post.

Chris

Congrats on the build! It turned out awesome!

p.s. A little birdie says that one might turn up in my neck of the woods in the form of a Nimble 9.

Thanks :thumbsup: I actually just made some changes which included getting rid of most of the RF stuff and adding truvativ ss noir cranks,30"diety bars,50mm thomson stem and a KS i900r post.

Here is a updated picture also one pulling my son in his trailer last week while camping at lake morena

And congrats on the Nimble 9 i almost built up a emd before finding my YS

As your neighbor I get dibs over EMFC. That thing is sweet


Ok I have to retract this statement. There is no dibs, cause its going to me :ninja:

EMFC, We willl have to settle this like men, cause that thing is BADASS. So take your pick, 1.)chinese downhill 2.) front yard tussle or 3.) a walk off.

We switched bikes yesterday riding in Canaans corner and holy crap I was instantly turned into a goat. I pedaled up stuff sitting on the canfield that I struggle to get up standing on the Chumba.

I was in shock at how easy this rig made just about everything :domo: It is definately going on my christmas list
