for £1500 its a great bike. Done about 400 miles on it so far, brilliant bike. But i have suffered a buckled wheel, but i just think that is down to hitting a pothole at 30mph! Obviously there is the risk buying online, when it arrived there was very fine marks around the fork (which i only spotted with a spotlight after first clean) nothing worth fussing about.

But if your thinking of buying a bike around the 1,500 i really recommend this bike. The LBS was very surprised it wasn't carbon and was very impressed!

Nice looking bike!

My kind of look of a bike. Definitely something I would consider.

But......it's got wet man

If that had been carbon it would have dissolved

Nice, I'm hankering after an Endurance CF, maybe later this year when funds allow.

How long did it take to arrive from order date?

 

[ianrauk]

There is none more black.
And I like it....................bet @vickster has a different opinion

How long did it take to arrive from order date?

They gave me a 5 week waiting time it arrived in 3 weeks!

N ow that is a beauty! Looks very stealthy.Wish I could persuade myself to go for a Canyon,however given that almost every time I get a new bike,(not that frequent,honestly) a week or so in and something needs changed,even given that I can test ride and so forth,Im fighting shy at present.Very impressed though

@plasterer this is on my short list how do you find the 52/36 front rings? and rear cassette for hill climbing?

Cheers.

BTW Lovely bike

1500 notes without a test ride? You're a braver soul than me.

Ive bought all my bikes without a single test ride and enjoy riding them all

 

[Drago]

I'm sure you do! But I'd be forever be worried that I might have enjoyed another bike even more, but will never know because I didn't test ride it.
