I wasn't aware of the canyon sponsorship programme, thanks a lot for that. The only bad things i've heard with canyon is the ridiculous wait time/lousy customer service.
As it stands i'm leaning towards towards the Bowman, as it seems to be the best bike to start properly racing on.
I'm waiting for insurance to come through, and they may simply say that they'll replace like for like, in which case i'll have a Giant TCR. Not really the worse situation to be in haha.
£800 for the allez is ridiculous.

If you consider that a Specialized Allez Smartweld frame (not even the S-Works Allez) retails at somewhere between £700 and £800 (£750 i think) and for that you get frame only, wheras with the canyon you get a £100+ VCLS post and a Ritchey stem for the £639. Ive also just looked up the "Sponsoring Programme" prices for 2015 - £559.03 for the Ultimate AL SLX frameset.
Unbelievably good value!
