Sitting@89 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Anyone out there have any experience with getting a Canyon bicycle in SA. And if so how would one deal with warranty issues service etc? Seriously considering one of these as it is one of the few bikes that would properly fit me.https://www.canyon.com/en/road/ultimate/2016/ultimate-cf-sl-9-0-di2.html Edited December 7, 2016 by Sitting@89 88Sprocket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakley360 Posted December 7, 2016 Share I am currently in the process of receiving my bike and it should be here this week- although I did not post it straight to SA(it is possible) I have posted it to a relative in Dubai(hopefully picking up no duties or taxes) - will let you know how that plays out. So far the transactions and communication was top notch. From what I read you should still be covered with waranties etc FCH and Fred_MTB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas_187 Posted December 7, 2016 Share I ordered the non di2 version of that bike but it's going to my house in the UK. Best value bike out there since it ticks all my requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakley360 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Luckily above said sibling works for one of those companies with lots of aircraft- making my quick visit/pickup very cost effective with a staff travel ticket at 90% discount Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, V12man and gwhite 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting@89 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Okay so now I have to pull the trigger on this, initially considering selling my mtb and road bike to go for a disc brake ultegra di2 spec, after some consideration though I am quite happy with 105 and dont have any issues with rim brakes either (brakes make almost a 4.5k difference in price) The reason I am selling my road bike is purely based on fit, the fit on my road bike is okay but not quite 100% (I am 208cm and currently on a 60 BMC Teammachine SLR02) I love the styling on the bike, and the ride is super smooth, just gets a bit squashed on long 3h+ rides. So after endless research, and watching almost countless reviews I decided on the ENDURANCE CF 8.0 where I can go for a 3XL 64cm bikehttps://www.canyon.com/en/road/endurace/2016/endurace-cf-8-0.html Now my question, anyone out there have any idea on the timeframe of getting the bike here?

Vanzyl Posted December 15, 2016 Share i have a canyon bike...get a fitting from ergo bike before you decide to buy, they will tell you what size will best suit you....you can see on their site when your size and choice of bike will be available.
