Canyon Road Bikes

[youngoldbloke]

It's arrived and OMFG is it a beautiful sight to behold

Popped out for a couple of miles last night and it goes like stink as well

So how long did it take from ordering to delivery - 1st to the 6th? Is that right - 5/6 days? That's pretty quick. I'm wavering between Rose and Canyon at the moment, but unfortunately they have sold out of 2013 models in my size, so waiting to see what Canyon are proposing for 2014.

They acknowledged my order on Monday 2nd and I received it on 5th

Always worth checking out the Canyon Outlet, older or display bikes for sale at a discount.

I like the new cross bikes, especially the 8.0S version set up as a winter roadie/commuter type. Slightly annoyed that the mudguards aren't included in the price though...

This is still my dream bike though

Does anyone think that Canyons are starting to get a bit more expensive? Possibly just cost of components going up?

I Just use halfords version of MucOff and finish off with MucOff bike spray and wipe off the excess, if its not really dirty I just give it a wipe down with a couple of wet wipes.

Re the cleaning

would a wipe down with GT85 on a cloth do any harm

Also always find baby wet wipes work the best and no risk to frame. After all we seem to have an endless supply in our house

Once you go electric you never go back , i also find the ride very comfy although I've never ridded more than about 4 hours and it looks the mutts nuts if you like the whole stealth look... That's a stunning bike that mate!

No problem, might have to try and convince the wife that I need to buy a 2014 model then

How did you find it BTW? And the sizing? I think I am slap between a 53 and a 56cm.

I would say same here,if it was a 55 it would have been perfect

Looks like all the 2014 range are now on the website. Ultimate CF SLX frames look to be the same colours and paint jobs as last year.

Change for the Aeroad however. First reactions, I thought the new Stealth finish looked amazing especially in the SL version with trick red hoods. Now I'm not so sure?

What do we reckon?

Like the stealth look
Not sure on the red hoods
Think they should have kept them dark

It is SRAM RED after all . Tend to agree however. Noticed a worrying amount of COLOUR being used on this year's German bikes - Rose and Canyon. One of their attractions for me was the 'any colour as long as it's black' approach (or white, in the case of Rose).
