So I decided that it was time to get a new gravel due to spending some time in Germany.  I ordered the bike online (quick and easy process thanks to Paypal).  So some pics of the process.

The packed bike

Nicely packed and wrapped.  NO it is not pink! It is Dried Tomato according to Canyon.  I'll just call it rust.

The box with the smaller parts, instructions and even a torque wrench.  The black box and scissors are mine!

Included parts.  Wheel reflectors are the law here.

A dry bag included, just because.

Set of DT Swiss wheels.  Tubless still needs to be done.

So the assembly begins.

Congrats, awesome bike! Shucks, since when is Apex offered as axs?

Saw it on the interwebs at the end of 2023.

Remember to post a ride review. I see now it is not badly priced. 2500 euros here in NL... Seems like excellent value!

DD, sit op jou bril, dis GEDROOGDE TAMATIE!

Ek hou meer van my tamaties moet klam wees. Maar as jy van gedroogde tamaties hou, hey, elke ou vir homself.

Have done one ride so far.  Still a bit unsure about the setup here AND my SA winter kit is USELESS!  Ek kan netsowel net met 'n bib ry!  I have to get some decent kit before I spend real time outside.  So for now I am chasing higher temperatures.  Sunday was 9-12°.  Hoping for the same this weekend.

 

I have also ordered a Powermeter for the bike.  Waiting (impatiently) and will send further pics when I receive it.

CENSOR CENSOR CENSOR.  Ek dink Matt jaag my weg as ek nou met die gesprek voortgaan 😆

Back on topic.

That is a nice looking machine you got there. I was riding my Spez Camber up Suikerbossie on Saturday and I was wondering if the time hasn't come for me to get something more suited to that type of riding. 

I think my next bike will be a gravel bike. I have enough mountain bikes now.
