Road bike recommendations

Have ordered a Canyon Ultimate CF 8.0 - Athena and Mavic Krysium Equipe. After a short angst over colour and size, I plumped for white and a 52cm with a 90mm stem. Bit annoying that they charge you 20 euros to choose your stem length, but the overall saving is so great, what the heck. It will take 8-14 days to come, which will feel twice as long. I am not a weight weeny, but will be about 3kg lighter than my current road bike. A step change for me. Eeeee!

The biggest ride impact when going with a quality carbon frame, will be the stiffness/smoothness ratio. You'll be wonder how something so brutaly fast feeling, can also feel so cushioning.
