Does anyone own a Canyon?

Aside from it's look, the idea of designing a bike to carry more comfortably on the shoulder is interesting. I'd like this just for my commuter. However, if that is the genuine intention then why no padding around that area or a curve to match the shoulder?

Visually, I kind of like it though.

I bloody love it, although the geometry looks mental - can anyone help me comprehend how the hell this translates?! by simple stack/reach comparison it looks like I'd need a Small!?
At 178cm and currently riding a 54 Felt FR FRD I just can't translate as the reach looks HUGE on the Inflite CF. I'd have automatically headed for a M....

Whoever designed this should stop designing bikes now......truly one of the ugliest thing I have seen in a while but it's weirdly annoyingly growing on me and I hate myself for this.

I mean, THIS, it's truly awful, but I love it!

FRD is MAD race oriented geo .. this is a cross bike, still a bit 'race' for cross bike so not for n00bs.

The choice is small and spacers or medium and slammed. I am impressed by the wheelbase on it.

By that I mean it's awful, don't get it.

So medium and slammed then

that means I can't buy it off you.

I mean, I'm not riding a bike with a fucking 119mm head tube - I thought the FRD was bad with 135mm...

get an ISA

Wtf is an ISA

If you say

Then I'm going to punch you next time I see you.

And I already have one.

Formerly I had an Inflite Al...

...but it was replaced (by obvious reasons) with Endurace CF SL:

anyone got any 1.25" stems knocking about?

I need 110mm if possible but anything around that would work.

Giant OD2

Do you have one in 110mm you wish to sell me?

Is there much chance of any introductory offers/promotions on new bikes, or is that not a Canyon thing?

They have a sale on at the moment, but probably won't be discounting 2018 bikes

Ok, thanks. I'm waiting until 2018 Ultimates with new Ultegra show up, and was just (idly) wondering...

Also got a giant OD2 you're more than welcome to

I have a 110mm V13 stem for sale as I just received a 120mm from canyon. Feel free to pm.

Anyone got an Ultimate AL? Will it take 28mm tyres?

TIA

I would like to know the same thing for the Roadlite AL

I've just joined the club;
