Patchelicious Posted January 3, 2018 Share Just a pity that Giant don't bring all the options into SA. There are some good looking bikes in their lineup... And then there is CanyonYup, that the route I want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchelicious Posted January 3, 2018 Share Are they shipping to RSA.?As far as I know you can ship where you want, you will just attract that country's duties. There is a whole thread about it, just search. lechatnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechatnoir Posted January 3, 2018 Share Has obtaining a Canyon become any easier yet.? Mail their customer service. Tell them what you want. They'll guide you through the process. They're switched on and you won't feel uncertain. Then, when you get on the bike, you'll know you made the right choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted January 3, 2018 Share In all honesty I don't understand why anyone would not want disc brakes. Unless you are a professional, is that added bit of weight going to make any difference whatsoever? On the other hand discs stop better, much better - so for the average guy of 80kg and more, surely it makes more sense to stop better than save a few grams? I wouldn't replace an existing bike just to get disc brakes, but if I was buying a new bike there would be no debate in my mind - discs all the way. That being said, I'm a mtb rider through and through, and when I do ride road events I am nowhere near A batch, and don't care too much about where I place in an event.

Andreas_187 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Who did he buy from?I'm pretty sure it was from Shorter Rochford cycles. I bought my first BMX from there back in the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas_187 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Are they shipping to RSA.?I think it costs about €400 to ship to SA. I had it sent to my parents house in London and then shipped it for about £260! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted January 4, 2018 Share I think it costs about €400 to ship to SA.

Eugene Posted January 4, 2018 Share I think it costs about €400 to ship to SA. I had it sent to my parents house in London and then shipped it for about £260!If it shipped directly from Canyon to you, you will get it VAT free in their country and will only pay SA import VAT. Ship it to your parents first and you will lose the VAT free status in that country and end up paying VAT in both countries. In order to enjoy VAT free status in that country, the supplier must be in control of the export and must ship directly to you.

HdB Posted January 9, 2018 Share Yeah yeah wise ass. But that’s a personal choice. CSA currently doesn’t give us any choice. Ps: Even though I currently have SR, that Campy hydro hood is so damn ugly I would gladly sell to SRAM or Shimano.It is not the prettiest, I'll agree. Perhaps the next revision (or two) improve. You could always compromise and get something like these cable-actuated calipers, keep the pretty ergos.But personally I don't think this looks good either. I'll stick with my Veloce group for now.
