New bike decision finally made.

[Silverfox885]

After weeks of research and deliberation I have now put the money down on one of these.

Now I just have to endure a six week wait.

Let us all know how it rides/what we are missing when you finally get to ride it please.

Cheers.

Very nice.

Just a shame they are all black.

Lovely looking, lightweight bikes.

Now if they did one in White with Red graphics...

Welcome to the Canyon club

 

[Silverfox885]

I like the matt black look. Hope it rides as good as it looks.

Bike looks great..it'd be good to know if it rides as good as it looks when you get it...keep us updated!

Nice bike! It was a toss up for me between a Canyon and a Rose. I opted for the Rose Xeon CF in the end as there was a little more choice allowed in the spec, but I do like the Canyons.

Good choice.

Nice bike, what made you choose Ultegra over the all new 105?

The new 105 supposedly has allot from Ultegra in its design and the bike is £300 cheaper.

There's a much nicer looking saddle on the one you ordered

Pity you can't order in Euros as their Euro prices a much better. £1500 vs £1700.

BTW, what did you think of the Canyon vs the Rose Team CGF?

They are not all black - I was admiring one last week - 'meteor grey and cyan' - very classy indeed. Meteor grey is quite light, silvery, and works beautifully with the cyan blue.

I was originally going to get the 105 but after selling a couple of hunting rifles and getting more money than I expected I thought sod it, it's only money and my wife would spend it on something domestically practical I blew most of it on the bike, ultegra pedals and new shoes etc.
Wish I'd thought about the Euro's, my brother lives in Berlin and could have got it for me.
I never looked at the Rose bike, better not look now incase it's better.

I suppose in the unlikely event that you have any major problems they will have to cover the shipping return and back, which they might not honour if you bought it within Germany. It could be more expensive but better to order it in the normal way.

Canyon say that if the frame is damaged in a crash they will provide a new one at a discounted price in the first three years. Has anyone ever needed this?
