Looks nice Ho.

That is absolutely lush! Absolutely doing me no favours at all now...

Turns out the Cycle2Work scheme that operates within my sister's firm requires that the retailer accepts cheque

No Canyon for me... :(

Awesome ho, so jealous!

What size is that Hoke?

^ either m or s, can't ever tell those two sizes apart on this frameset, inspite of my carpenters eye.

What size is that Hoke?

Man size.

Its my size

Indeed! ;) size S btw

Can't be, stem is 100mm too long.

Canyon fork steerer failure.

I'll put this here for HoKe (Official LFGSS Canyon Rep)

I may be wrong but it looked like another rider suffered a similar fate on his Canyon on the Roubaix stage, too. After he crashed into the crowd his cockpit was dangling from his bike.

They're not the only manufacturer whose frame failed during a big event.

There does seem to a rising tide of anecdotal evidence indicating that they aren't that good at making bikes which stay in one piece... which is building into something more than just anecdotal evidence. I have also heard less than glowing accounts of their after sales support too (not including Ho, who seems to have been looked after).
I wouldn't buy one at the moment (especially one which has a known seatpost issue) - it's not like there isn't PLENTY of choice in the road bike market.

Light, cheap, strong pick two

Discreet frame branding.

Movistar or Katusha? Deets?

They're not THAT cheap though are they? Hardly a PX. A Cf slx is £1600 f&f, which buys you a lot of bike from Giant, Cannondale, Cervelo..etc

^ decent bait

DAMMIT!
