The "Show off your bike" thread!

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.
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.

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?Cheers
