Does anyone own a Canyon?

Yep

The current gen of ultimate AL's have a 56cm top tube for M. So does my Aeroad. So if Canyon haven't changed their sizing then it should be the right size for you

They are high stack esp with those i-lock headsets .. so you may get away with pro length stem.

Medium is a 56cm, how tall are you?

It takes a 1 1/4 stem and a 27.2mm seatpost. Canyon sell stems for £28 plus postage, or you can get versions by Ritchey on ebay cheaper.

@ TTM Not sure about the AL but I'm a Medium on the Inflite/Ultimate/Aeroad. I ride 55 or 56 usually. 1.80, 76.5cm saddle height. They are quite big for their given size, but they might require a longer stem.

Also giant: http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Giant-Contact-OD2-Stem_74810.htm

And Zipp, but pricey.

I ride a 56 with a 100mm stem. So, a 54 or 55 should be fine. Will take a punt.

I was thinking about getting myself an endurace AL 7.0 as a new road/touring bike.

What is it worth ? I'm not that much of a good cyclist, and Usually go for 50-70km rides like 2 times a week when it's sunny.

As the price of the frame is quite low, I thought I could put good carbon wheels and a nice groupset on it. But maybe just a carbon frame would be better ?

So, I've been given a 2012 AL frame and fork. What it doesn't have is a mech hanger, so I'll need to source one. Do I have to deal with canyon or do third parties sell these?

I'll also need to replace the headset and bottom bracket. If anyone can tell me what I need I'd appreciate it.

Sorry for the basic questions.

Great stuff, cheers.

Hmmm. That hanger didn't fit, which is making me question whether this is a 2012 AL. The frame has 3 bolts holes for the hanger, but the one above from Wiggle only had two.

How can I easily work out the frame I have here.

Send that photo to Canyon and ask :)

Ignore me. The seller has clarified the frame.

I have one you can have, PM with your address and I will pop it in the post.

That's really kind, but all sorted now.

(Love this forum)

I've decided to bin off my plans of building up that frame.

I have a pair of headset bearings, brand new and never fitted, that I no longer need. Before I post them back, does anyone have need of them? They cost £28.99, happy to sell for £25

They are these

Oh that's too bad, what made you change your mind?

It was all proving a bit of a PITA to be honest. I'm going to keep an eye out for something that I can swap bits off the Storck. So standard steerer, bsa68, etc.

Anyone own an Endurance? Thinking I might buy a new winter bike this year and they look great.

Can anyone tell me what bottom bracket I'll need for a Canyon Ultimate 2016? Looking at a Praxis chainset (BB30) but not sure if it'll fit? (useless with this kind of stuff!)

*EDIT I've done some more research and looks like it won't fit, possibly with an adaptor? I'm not a fan of the Shimano chainsets and want to change to something else, what are my options for an easy swop?

Anyone own the inflite? Pondering it for road/gravel fun. Spec seems good for the price

@mylessimpson I'm riding one (AL SLX 80 Pro Race) atm. It's very good off-road, but I find the BB a bit high for actual gravel riding. I have a thing for low BBs though. Can't comment for value, I didn't pay for it.
