2013 Canfield The One Complete (details below)
MSRP $2350 with Elka Stage 5 (no spring)
Size: Large
Complete: $4336 (with Elka, no spring, or CCDB Air). Details on build below.
This is the last year that they made the One before stopping production in favor of the Balance, which does not have adjustable travel, cannot take 2 different length rear shocks.
I should also mention that this is the 2013 - best geometry, 12mm x 142mm rear axle. direct mount front derailleur (if that's your sort of thing - I like it with a single front ring), reinforced, slackened headtube vs. previous years. It is significantly better in a number of ways in comparison to previous years.
I am really sad to see this bike go. It is easily the most versatile bike I've ever ridden. I had it set up as a freeride bike when I first got it, and rode it on all trails and at the park. Then I set it up for DH when I was forced to sell my Jedi. Most recently, I set it up for trail riding and freeride with a 180mm TALAS on the front.
I have had both the CCDB Air and the Elka Stage 5 on it. Both are great. The CCDB is about 1 lb lighter, and pedals better, and is better for jumping. But the Elka is better for rough riding and bigger hits, and is more sensitive. The Elka on the bike is the best shock there is for it (I also tested it with a CCDB coil and Fox RC4). This bike EXCELLED in all the conditions I put it in. It inspires confidence on the downhill. It is stable at speed. It jumps with the perfect amount of pop (jumps better than Jedi). It pedals up bumpy trails better than any bike I've ridden. Seriously. The rear suspension stays active despite pedaling. The Canfield Suspension design perfectly isolates pedaling forces from suspension movement. You will read this in any review. You may read it in review of other bikes, but no other bike comes close. Other designs generally balance pedal forces to counteract suspension forces so that the rear tends to stay put DUE TO chain tension. The rear wheel on The One moves so independently, that you can crank in a granny ring up steep, rooty stuff, and the rear wheel just moves over all the bumps with ease while maximizing grip and cranking along, and NOT bobbing. It pedals up forest roads with hardly and rear suspension movement. I don't say "none" because it's not a hardtail, and I never locked it out with any shock I ran - it doesn't need it. To give you an idea of comparison, it pedals better trails than the Mojo HD/HDR/HD3. No, I am not exaggerating. Canfield really has something special in this bike.
The ONLY reason I'm selling it is because I've gone 27.5". I have kept it handy, but I'm just not riding it enough, and I think it needs to go to a new home for someone who needs one bike to rule them all. The One has no peer in this arena - due to travel flexibility, strength, and pedalability, it simply dominates any other bike. The Mach 6 only wishes it was this versatile (MTBR most versatile bike of 2014 - The One is superior in every way but frame weight).
Okay, enough rambling. It's making me reluctant to sell.
What Canfield has to say about this frame:
"The ability to pedal to the top of your local mountain and ride EVERY jump on the way down has never been more of an option for people! The One excels at not only descending, but also lives for the climbs! This is the best pedaling bike in its class! The ONE suspension creates a seamless transition between pedal efficiency and bump eating performance. The beauty of this bike lies in its simplicity. No knobs or lock out buttons to press on the climbs. Set the rear shock up for the down and start pedaling, The ONE takes care of the climbing for you! Giving you 7 -8” wheel travel while still being light enough to keep up with bikes ½ its travel, The ONE really is the “one” bike to do everything!"
Review
“I feel like Canfield has made a bike that is as good as the best, then given it something special (locking suspension) that puts it above and beyond the rest. For those who have always been unsure of buying a more DH oriented bike let your worries go. I always thought I would be sacrificing something I loved by not being able to climb and ride some of the things I used to ride by getting a bike with so much suspension. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Everything I loved was enhanced. I gained more than I thought in every aspect of riding. I hardly dare ride the bikes I used to ride because they feel so awkward and lacking. All the years I wasted by listening to what other people assumed about bigger travel bikes is maddening. This bike really is that good.
Pedaling is excellent. Geometry is spot on for the entire spectrum. Due to the locking rear suspension in climbs far better than any xc, all-mountain, enduro, or FR bike I’ve been on. Supple, plush, and fluid suspension descends as good as the best DH bikes out there. It is as smooth as the specialized demo 8. (The only DH bike that I’ve tried with superior feeling suspension is the Canfield Jedi). Stable in the air. Built like a tank, it is very stiff. Corners like mad. Customer service is top notch.”

Features:
7005 Aluminum
“ONE” suspension
6.5"- 7“- 8” vertical travel
Internally ribbed chainstays
142x12mm (135x12mm with supplied spacers, included)
1.5” Headtube
Direct mount front derailleur compatible
20mm max bearings
Replaceable rear derailleur hanger
Geometry - see pictures. It is perfectly low with an 8.75" x 2.75" rear shock running 30% sag for aggressive use. It can be , can be set even lower with an 8.5" x 2.5" rear shock which provides even slacker geometry with a longer fork, but could also be run with a 160mm fork. I personally liked the bike with a 180mm TALAS the best, and 8.75" rear shock (which is why the 2 shocks I used with the bike were both 8.75" - I think if I was using it more for trail-only use, I'd put an 8.5" rear shock on it. It is plenty long in the top tube/reach for my 6 foot tall body. I never felt like it was the wrong size. Small enough to be playful, large enough to be stable and great for steeps. And plenty slack - I had an external bearing headset on it, and this resulted in a 65 degree head tube angle. The geometry is spot-on with any of the newer long/low/slack bikes (it was really ahead of it's time in 2013).
Condition: Ridden off and on for the past 2 years. Well, really, ridden mostly in spring of 2013, 4 times between summer of 2013 and summer of 2014 (very busy work year), and about 10 times since then. As you can see from the pictures, I did not abuse this frame. It is in excellent shape. Bearings are original, and are buttery smooth (a nice thing about Canfields - they don't fall apart!). No dents or damage. Absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Adjustability: 8" rear travel with 8.75" rear shock. Can also move the shock mounting position to get 7" of lower leverage ratio. Can use an 8.5" x 2.5" rear shock to get 6.5" or 7.3" of travel, depending on the mounting hole that you use. I never tried it with a shorter fork, but with an 8.5" rear shock, I bet it would work great as a shorter travel more Enduro-raceworthy frame with a 170 mm or 160mmm fork. Based on my calculations, a 160mm fork with 8.5" rear shock in 6.5" travel mode would result in the same geometry, but with the bike riding just a little closer to the ground - perfectly appropriate for a 6.5" bike (an 8" bike will naturally sit a little higher off the ground, by nature of design). You could make it even slacker with the shorter rear shock and a longer (170 mm or even 180 mm) fork. This bike is designed to accommodate all these options. And you don't need to fuss with an angleset - it comes out perfect by design.
Don't forget that it's a Canfield, and the Brothers are the best company out there for customer support. Their corporate headquarters are in Bellingham, WA, and if you're looking at this bike, there's probably a decent chance that you're from there since this bike is PERFECT for the B'ham scene (pedaling, steeps, big stunts... pretty much everything but endless XC, for which this bike is not intended).
Complete build details:
Fork: Fox 36 TALAS FIT RC2 180mm - USED ONCE. MSRP = $1,100
Wheelset (Choice #1): Easton Haven Carbon Wheelset (20mm front, 12x142 rear):. MSRP = $2,400. These are the most amazing wheels ever - I have NEVER trued them, and they are perfectly true and tensioned as day 1. They still spin like new. They are magic wheels. Seriously. And they weigh 1450g for the pair. You won't find a lighter, stronger set - they make this bike so playful! They are UST tubeless.
Wheelset (Choice #2): Industry Nine Enduro custom: blue hubs, blue spokes, Mavic EX823 tubeless rims. 12mm x 135mm rear, 20mm front. Impossibly strong, yet still very light. I used these for more aggressive riding with dual ply tires. Currently they have very good condition Muddy Mary's on them (vertstar snakeskin front, dual ply rear. Perfect for DH/park. MSRP = $1700 (custom I9 builds aren't exactly cheap!).
Tires: Schwalbe Fat Albert F & R Specific - UST tubeless, triple nano compound. These have been used on 3 rides. Like new. Super light, and RAIL, and still brake really well. Mounted up tubelessly.

$4336 for the complete (no BB grease tool). If you buy the complete for my asking price, I will throw in extras (more good Schwalbe tires, Canfield decals, tubes, and if you like, my spare 661 full face and some Race Face Rally knee/shin pads).
Complete bike weight with CCDB Air = 31.7 lbs. That's almost as light as a carbon enduro bike, but this has 8" travel, is indestructible. It just goes to show you how much effort I put into finding the lightest and strongest parts.
MSRP on the complete is $8,580.
If you buy the bike with both wheelsets (will cost extra on top of asking price), I'll throw in both shocks and Ti spring.
MSRP $2350 with Elka Stage 5 (no spring)
