Does anyone own a Canyon?

Any normal person would look at that and think "yeah, aeroroadframes... meh" and not buy a new thing.

saw the aero merida on the road the other day, thought it looked pretty tidy. unlike the wanker in full pre-rapha sky kit (gloves! helmet!) riding it.

Ay can realise mai passion

Not actually all that aero compared to the normal CLX...saves 17secs over the course compared to the CLX so almost pointless basically.

Tell that to anyone who's lost a race by 17s or less...

Where'd that graph come from - who did the measuring?

^^ I've no idea how they did that test. If it's in a tunnel it's not a lot like a race... that's like riding off the front at the start of a flat 4hr road race.

that's merida not canyon

here's a more detailed discussion of the chart above. It was made by Tour Mag.

Was he on Old Kent Road?

a21 when he tried and then failed to make any progress on my fixieshitter. guess he came from the a20, and no doubt the a2 before that.

Meh. if it came in a nice colour my wallet would flap open.

so do I buy the 1600£ alu SLX or save up some more for the lowest-end crabon SLX at 2800£

That's a pretty big price jump between the two.

^^ buy the Scott Foil Di2 combo I posted in the road bike recommendation thread. Then buy some nice wheels and me a beer.

I may be compensating for my MAMIL status here. But I'd love this frameset, built up with all the black bits, and groupset from my BMC (OK I'd keep the Hoods).

I'm waiting on Canyon to replace my current aeroroad due to seatpost clamp issues. They keep on pushing it back. Maybe they can push it back far enough to justify me getting the new one

Why can't canyon design seat post clamps?!

A problem related to the basalt fibre posts perhaps?

The new monocoque bars look great. They should name them 'hammerheads'. Accommodation of a computer or head unit could be better.

They look sick. They should design a mount to go with them though

That does look pretty awesome.

No way of putting a Garmin on thought.

Around the stem?
