the biggest bike you've ever seen

[jifdave]

About two months ago i ditched my triban 3 and then treated myself to a bike that actually fits nicely.
Shes' a 65cm Canyon Roadlite AL 6.0

The wheels are hand built Harry Rowland 105 hubs, Mavic open pro rims, Sapim strong spokes and conti gator duraskin tyres. They are not attractive wheels but very functional im not just tall im heavy.

came out of the box looking like this


changed the post from the ritchey wcs to a carbon specialized pavé and put black bar tape on


Then when taking pics i realized how horribly upright the stem looked so i flipped it



105 rear mech and 11-32 cassette


105 compact cranks, 105 mech and token chain catcher



carbon specialized pavé post and selle seat that will be swapped for a fizik once ive tried a few



soon the black stock outers will be changed for yellow jagwire outers and yellow ferrules.

since getting this bike i've become a proper tart and bought matching scott carbon soled shoes


and got a case and custom screen cover for my garmin



i think i have a problem.....

What height are you?

I've got a 64cm Canyon Roadlite AL CT (just black and white frame colour) and I love it.

i'm 6'8, the standard ritchey 300mm seatpost was too short.

I love mine too, often have aero bars on her but it makes her not look as fast

Wow, you guys make my 60cm CAAD10 look 'normal'

FWIW I'm 6'5", 35" inseam and I swapped my post out for a Ritchey WCS 400mm one

how long is the seat tube on yours? my canyon is 645mm

i actually wanted to swap my post for a ritchey as the bars and stem are ritchey but my mate bought a s works tarmac and it came with the carbon pavé but he already had an sworks post so he didnt want it, couldnt resist it.

I'm not sure TBH, the geometry can be seen here;

I stuck to an alu seatpost as my carbon fears and rider weight made for a twitchy Smokeysmoo with the stock C'dale carbon post it came with I swapped the stock bars and stem for Ritchey WCS as well, all in wet black
