Well, I wish I'd have thought of that. Their shop is only 2 hours from Rotterdam.
But the ferry trip and the drive there and back would surely eat up any savings to be made on the price of the bike? Or would the chance of buying it in Euros still make it a bargain? It would still be a great opportunity to visit what sounds like a cyclist's paradise.
Ah, well. I've ordered a Trek Emonda now, so it's all academic anyway.

I'm not really worried about getting a bargain,i just feel with the selection of bikes they have it would be good to get properly measured see them in the flesh & as you say a cyclist paradise.But the ferry trip and the drive there and back would surely eat up any savings to be made on the price of the bike?

I've not been to Germany so i'm sure the wife & i could combine a bit of touring with a visit to Rose..Looks terrific doesn't it.

I was going to do just that before I decided to put off N+1 until next year. We're a subset of a car forum, after all, and it seemed like as good an excuse for an Autobahn blast as any. Rose at Bocholt, then via the Nordschleife to Canyon at Koblenz. More fun than waiting in for the courier, and you'd get to test ride the bikes around a car park at least before buying.I rode the Aluminium GF at the bike show - seemed a nice bike.
I had a hankering for the CDX, they are tonking value - Di2 and hydraulic discs for just over 2K.
The 'raw' grey carbon and blue is not to everyone's taste though as it is really dull and patchy up close which you can't see on the web pictures.
I probably should have bought the CDX as I thought it looked good!

I'll happily vouch for Fin, he restored my faith in Rose after the Fork recall on my bike....I'm seriously considering ordering a new road bike from Rose now
