Canfield Bikes, a high-end bike manufacturer from the State of Washington, has relocated to Fruita. The company is in the process of closing on a permanent space. Canfield received a Strategic Fund Incentive from the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, which was matched by GJEP. However, the business was eyeing this “mountain-biking mecca” long before then…
“Lance Canfield, CEO, president and designer of Canfield Bikes, is no stranger to Colorado. Although he was raised in Utah where the company started in 1999 prior to moving to Washington state, Lance has been visiting Colorado to ride and race mountain bikes since 1994, and previously worked as an engineer and product designer with White Brothers suspension/EKO Sport (Now MRP) in Grand Junction, CO.
‘Colorado’s always had a special place in my heart,’ said Canfield. ‘I have fond memories of working and riding here. The bike community is so amazing and I’ve made so many friends here, I can’t think of a better location to grow our team and the brand in the coming years. I look forward to new rides, new friends and new adventures.'”
