ultra roadie

Not tacky. I love a pavé too. If you see another set, lmk

Will do, if I don't buy them myself..
I think they would look great on your Ti bike!

They were pretty hard to find NOS, thankfully someone of the forum had a pair and messaged me.
Ultradynamico do their CAVA Race 33mm in the same style. But they are pretty expensive and wider than I'd like, even if the Ultimate can fit them. At the price they are I'd rather try some Veloflex, or FMB.

Not easy to make a stealth Canyon stand out but shallow wheels and the tyres look class, great choice

Front derailleur is giving me grief.
But I did ride it home from my friend's workshop and otherwise it's riding great.

No pictures?!

This is with pedals (XTR, I dare you to say something) and cages. I think that’s acceptable but could be easily a fair bit lighter.
Without pedals it would be 7.7kg.
Could lose weight with latex tubes, lighter wheels and switching to SPD-SL when the weather gets better.

I'm following the installation and adjustment instructions for the FD and I just cannot get it aligned.

'To set the angle of the Front Derailleur, rotate it so that the flat surface of the chain guide outer plate is directly above the largest chainring and the rear edge of the chain guide is inwards by 0.5 to 1 mm compared to the front edge.'

Yet, when I put the FD on it sits in the opposite position. With the rear edge sitting outward and the front edge sitting inward. No matter what I do I cannot get it to sit correctly so that I can do the rest of the adjustment.

Just try to push harder on the back of cage when tightening the bolt.

Maybe worthless but would the little screw that settles the detailleur in place be to far in ? Therefore preventing the derailleur from rotating inward enough.
The relatively hidden sunken bolt that is supposed to push on the little sticky protective plate that prevents indenting carbon seattubes

Sorted!
Kind of looks like... every other Canyon.
Rides very nice and fast.
Decided not to put the T.A rings on just yet, will do that after the winter.
I'm getting through a brutal chest infection but I'll get some miles on it and nicer photos once I'm better.

The position feels pretty spot on.
I dare any of you to say something about me riding MTB pedals on my road bike.

I think after the winter, I would like to replace the bearings (bottom bracket and hubs) with Hope.

love it; needs deep carbon

Thanks!
I think you're right.
Aero bikes need box sections, slimmer tubed bikes need deep sections.
Contrasting example below.

Looks great. Pleased you have the proper Pave tyres fitted.

It would look good with an ahead stem

Headset cap it is

I thought about it when I got the frame. The problem is you have to use the really ugly Canyon headset cap for ahead.
The solution to that is the lowstack headset cap they made mostly for the Aeroad but I could not for the life of me find one.
And anyway I bought the stupid, expensive carbon bars so now there’s no going back…

Wise words.
