I like that, cracking bike....

Got this a couple of days ago, Canyon were doing them for £1270 delivered so ordered 3 weeks ago. Parts changed:

Superstar C46 carbon clinchers with 25mm Pro4 SC tyres and latex tubes
Canyon VCLS 2.0 inline seatpost
Specialized Romin Pro saddle
Ultegra 52-36 chainset instead of the compact
Planet X carbon cages (to fit)

I think I'm going to get the stem swapped for a 120mm (Canyon will do this FOC) and change the bars for 44cm. I'm 6'4 and ordered a 60cm XL which comes with 42cm bars. I think I'm between sizes but the 62cm 2XL would be a bit big with stack higher than I'd like and a goofy looking 21cm head tube.

So far, rides very nice - no more harsh than my Supersix and the Di2 is very nice to use.

Decided it was time to try and get fit, just picked up my new stead

Your winning at this thread. Storck is an itch I'm gonna have to scratch at some point, I considered a Fascenario prior to my ESX. How's the handling, and how much does it weigh?

[Magic919]

He said 6kg.

My 'cross bike and my XC race bike.

Bought used for less than half price, never ridden by previous owner. Rose Xeon, 53cm...I'm 175cm or 5'9".

Ridden it for two weeks now, bought it to complete the 2015 letape du tour. Seems smooth and quick.

So far very happy, though the left Shimano Ultegra shifter needed attention, it jammed with the chain on the big ring.

Yes with pedals, just under 6kg. Roadcc voted this model as Super Bike of the year 2014 / 2015 and Tour Magzine voted it as Best Bike in The World. Handles beautifully. Climbs like a mountain goat and very comfortable too.

Really want to do an off-road coast-to-coast... but have failed in persuading the guys I ride with to commit...

Amazing experience but quite hard going and i was introduced to the use of hostals (not used to that)
http://www.crudcatcherchallenge.co.uk/ Has a bit more about what we did and the route, I have the GPX files if you want i can email over.
4 days of lovely riding interrupted by some monster hikes.
Raised some money, had a good laugh, ate chips didnt drink too much beer, whats not to like?

sounds amazing! (apart from the hostels... think I'd want a luxury spa at the end of each day to recouperate in!)

yeah, gpx files would be cool if you don't mind... thanks! (I'll pm my email)

Final clean before retirement - canyon strive 9 cf race due next week

[v15ben]

New toy for me, bought this weekend.
Pinnacle Ramin One in a very subtle hue!

[neilbauer]

^^^ is that a 29er on a small frame? The wheels look mahoosive (sort of monster bike)

[v15ben]

They do look massive!
It's a 29er but the frame is large size.
Think its just how it's designed tbh.

[stu1984]

My new steed.....Canyon Endurace 9.0. Absolutely love it!!!!

I think it's because the bike above is on I think 26 wheels makes the 29'look big.
