Trying and buying a canyon

[TheYoungster]

Hi I am planning to upgrade my road bike as I have moved out of just commuting. I cycle at university and have started to do a lot more sportifs and club rides. I have been looking at the Canyon Endurance CF 7.0 and can't seem to find these bikes present on bike retailers websites presuming they don't stock them.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience of buying a Canyon road bike?

I would quite like to try it before buying it!

If you want a Canyon, you buy from Canyon. End!

They are out of stock too. If you want to try one, then you need to find someone with one in your size or get yourself to Koblenz in Germany.

Whats in Koblenz?

I cant find a 54cm Canyon of any model, for sale anywhere.

The canyon showroom where you can test ride the bikes...although seems to be mountain bikes

I cant find a 54cm Canyon of any model, for sale anywhere.

That's because you can only buy Canyon bikes from Canyon.

I hope the 2016 Endurace will be announced at Eurobike, I have had my eye on an Endurace for a while, I just hope they stick with rim brakes on at least some models.

That's because you can only buy Canyon bikes from Canyon.

Yes I know that. But even they do not have any for sale.

 

[sleaver]

Yes I know that. But even they do not have any for sale.

You said "anywhere" and as you know with Canyon, there isn't an "anywhere"

 

[vickster]

Yes I know that. But even they do not have any for sale.

Not one bike in that size? Or a specific model?

 

[steveindenmark]

They have a large range of bikes and I think they have one model in 54cm. It is quite astounding how many models are totally sold out. I cant see how they run a business like that.

New ones probably due out in under a month, this is model changeover time. Running down stocks

Here is a typical example of their Stock list.

If they don't have what you want buy elsewhere It's the end of the summer and model year, their bikes are popular, the magazines love them. Are Rose the same, they compete directly

Canyon's bikes are predominantly grey or black... zzz

Vickster I dont want one, I was just trying to fathom out what the problem was in ordering them.

I think this is my next one
