New (to me) today. Really need to swap the tyres for something less obese, but I don't want to spend much considering i've only just bought it. Must... Resist...

I really like that.

More details?

Mandatory ph kitchen shots smile





I love it, just a joy to ride from my limited road biking experience, usually have done MTB's & trails, sold the whyte 46 and brought this. Friends who are experienced road cyclists love it, although few have questioned reliability of di2 ultegra, not had any problems so far.

I'm a big fan of Canyon bikes anyway, but that's a fine example of the breed!

I've personally not had a any issues with the di2 so far. A quick google & there's really no issues. Me thinks my mates did not expect me to turn up with the foil. I was going with the trek madone 5.9 but it was a size too big, then I saw the foil in my size & just fell in love with it, must admit bit of an impulse lol, good discount also helped but a bit more than the trek 5.9 2012.

Funnily enough, the Ultegra Di2 incorporated a number of changes/advancements from the original (10sp) Dura Ace Di2: thinner, lighter wiring, better sealing around the connectors, and IIRC better battery life to name but a few. Until the advent of 11sp Dura Ace Di2, the Ultegra Di2 was Shimano's most advanced drivetrain!
