Sep 12, 2026Canfield Lithium V3, Dorado Pro, Enve AM 30 PRICE DROP
$4,500 CAD2023 Canfield Lithium, size Large, Gnarigold. Bought new as a frameset direct from Canfield and built up by me. One owner, three seasons, almost entirely trail riding. No crashes, no dents, no cracks.
Selling because I'm moving to a shorter travel trail bike. Nothing wrong with this one.
WHAT MAKES THIS ONE DIFFERENT
It has the V3 rear triangle, fitted this season and colour matched to the frame. Canfield sells this as a $1,000-1,200 USD upgrade, plus $200 for colour match, and the colour match option is currently backordered. It brings:
- UDH compatibility
- Three chainstay positions: 427 / 435 / 442mm
- Mullet capable, 29" or 27.5" rear, with no geometry change
Currently set up 29" front and rear in the 442mm long chainstay position.

TWO THINGS PEOPLE ASK ABOUT
"190mm fork on a 170mm frame?"
The Dorado is an inverted dual crown, so its axle-to-crown at 190mm is roughly 588mm, essentially the same as a Zeb at 170mm. The bike sits at its designed head angle. It is not over-forked in practice. If you'd rather run less, the Dorado's air spring makes travel changes simple.
"SRAM cassette with a Shimano derailleur?"
Works perfectly, because the chain is matched to the cassette. SRAM chain on a SRAM cassette, Shimano XT mech and shifter. Shifts flawlessly, no adapters, no workarounds.
HONEST DISCLOSURES
I'd rather you know all of this now than be surprised when the box opens.
- The Mara Pro air can has holes I drilled myself to increase air flow. It works well for me but it is an irreversible owner modification. If you'd prefer coil, see the option
below.
- The DARC valving in the Dorado was installed by me, following a spec provided by Nigel at NSR Racing. It was not installed by NSR.
- Cosmetic paint chips around the bottom bracket area, the lower link, and the seat tube junction.
detail below.
SERVICE AND CONDITION
- Dorado serviced within the last few months
- Dominions recently bled, fresh pads
- Drivetrain runs Silca wax, chain has no measurable stretch
- Tires nearly new
- Whole bike just gone over by Rogue Konstrukt in Toronto, who confirmed no creaks, no play, nothing outstanding
OPTIONAL ADD-ON
Marzocchi Bomber CR coil shock with a Fluid Focus tune, 230x65, for an additional $450 CAD. I have a wide range of springs and will include one to suit your weight, just tell me what you ride at. I ran a 375 at 178lb. I personally preferred the Mara on this frame but plenty of people prefer coil on a Lithium.
