2013 Canyon Ultimate AL frame - sml

Selling a well used but still very usable frame which is stupid light and very stiff. I'm sad to see it go.

So why am I selling?

I recently realised that at some point, like an oaf, I've over tightened the stem bolts, gouging the steerer and causing a bit of distortion to the steerer tube.

This bothers me to the extent that I don't want to ride it as is, yet nor do I have the time to try and source a replacement fork as these ones use a proprietary taper which is not at all common — 1.5 to 1.25"

I've since bought something else to ride and am selling this in the hope that someone has some forks they can throw on, has a similar era Canyon in a different size and wants to try smaller/larger etc etc.

It's had plenty of use which shows in places. Theres some Oxidation in places, and a small ding in the ds chainstay caused by a derailleur hanger snapping, sending the derailleur round the rear wheel. Some chain drop scratches, you get the picture.

I acetoned some of the logos/graphics off years ago and generally the matte anodising is looking a little tired.

Forks will be included in the sale if desired but you ride at your own risk. Comes with a usable SRAM gxp bb, but the headset bearings aren't great. I think I have some spare derailleur hangers somewhere and possibly a stem or two I will also throw in.

It's a size small (geo attached)
Estimate the weight at around 2kg for frameset with the headset and BB in it

£100 shipped from the north east though offers are invited

Giant OD2 fork ?

For any potential buyers: those Acros headsets add a load of stack height, just fit a conventional top cap/preload adjuster and trim the steerer removing the damaged bit.

For a second I thought about withdrawing the ad and trying this, but I don't think my back could handle it.

@roadwarrior cheers man, been keeping an eye out for those too but unfortunately they seem similarly tough to find
