Oh yay, there goes half the point of me wanting one...

 

 

I think we should organise a Canyon ride ;-) 

 

 

Let's not listen to that other guy and make this happen!  :w00t:

 

See, point proven. Too many of these sexy bikes out there now.

 

Canyon, the new Audi :P

Some tender feelings there, Patchelicious

Missed the scoop

Are you still getting the stealth discie

Yup, this my envy coming out. I am proper jealous of these beautiful bikes.

 

Dude, with all the travelling I have hardly had time to look at what bikes I need. Haven't even gotten around to getting the Smart trainer. Im hardly home so neither a new bike nor trainer would actually get used right now.... :(

 

But that stealth discie is still a "semi" inducer.

So many bikes ????

So little time

 

I have managed to control my impulse thus far to get a CAAD 12 disc with eTap

My Endurace frame arrived... and no through axles.

 

Was I being stupid expecting TAs to be included with a brand new frameset, or is this something Canyon forgot to put in the box? I can't remember the last time I bought a TA frame/fork that didn't come with its own axle.

Mine did have through axles

Velocio SRAM team colours if I’m not mistaken.

I have seën it on their woman specific frame but cant find it as a stock item.

 

Very nice.

Canyon SRAM Racing team bike - 2017 colors. Yes, that is from their woman's range

It all makes sense except I genuinely had not considered that you were a girl

I could joke and say I ride like a girl, but let's be honest, there are many MANY girls who will crush me on a bike. 

 

I went for those colors cause I liked them since the day they were launched. Have been looking at getting a road bike after selling my Venge Elite and jumped at the opportunity when I saw this one in their Factory Outlet.

 

Difference in geo is zero, only difference is saddle, bar width, stem length, crank arm length and few fibres less in the layup.

 

In terms of setup: the 172.5mm crank arm length is what I ride so that worked out well, and the shorter stem length gives me the same reach as I had on the S-Works Venge Vias I reviewed which was a purrrrrfect fit. I'll see how it goes before swapping out to wider bars

 

Saddle I was always going to change to a Spez Power saddle. 

 

So I got a near damn perfect setup / geo bike with my favourite drivetrain and killer wheels in the colors I've been dreaming about since I was a little girl boy. Perfect.

And the difference in fibre layup is negligible, as you're not gonna be putting nearly as many watts away as the pro ladies... 

 

It looks awesome, dude.
