Please stop quoting the photo of the Canfield. Ruining the thread, it hurts
Haha yes. I thought they hit bottom with that carbon one a few years ago
A lot of people liked the EPO at the time, me included, desperate times when you look back retrospectively lol
Like a bitch waiting to get dogged
The EPO was the first 29’r I ever rode that just felt right as soon as I swung a leg over. Seriously comfortable bike. I would likely buy a used one if it popped up for the hell of it. Guaranteed I’d be happy with it for long adventurous rides.

Comfort is King
That’s was me on the first gen honzo. First mountain bike that straight up fit me and was just so damn good.

I didn't mind it either, for a plastic hardtail. The only plastic hardtail I like the look of for real, though, is the yeti, which I know lots of you hate. Still rather metal tubes any day.
I would never buy a carbon frame, but could make an exception on the EPO. Throw a 1degree angleset on there and you'd have a fun machine.
Agreed 100% . I was in their shop 5 or so years ago and they told me to take a loaner for the weekend. I wanted one badly after that it was just out of my pocket books range.
The EPO looks great. I was pretty close to buying once of those frames several years ago, when I bought a Riot. My girlfriend would have killed me though. I search the buy and sell from time to time to see if one ever comes up.
The question is....how have they gone from that beauty to this abortion???
Are they under new management??
I feel like a lot of it is photography and colour. Canfield alu is pretty cool and it really doesn't look way different than the old one. Glossy flashy colours shot poorly can just look disgusting. Look here, same bike, one looks way cooler to me:
The Canfield Yelli and Nimble9 haven't really changed much in terms of looks. I don't mind them, but they don't look as good as the EPO in my opinion. The EPO was a weird one for them, their one and only carbon bike. I like it.
