I always thought the Cervelo to be very similar to the Canyon. I found it hard to distinguish the ride between an Cervelo R3 and a Canyon CF Pro. The easy thing to choose between the two was the price.

Will be interesting to see how this develops.

    Canyon need to sort their frame graphics out. I know it's subjective, but they look hideous IMHO.

    But nowhere near as bad as Cervelo.

    Must disagree the team colours look great. My steed:

    It's not the colours I dislike mate, it's the wonky branding and font choice. It's subjective as I said, you'd probably hate my choice ;)

    Best looking frames, especially 2008. No pseudo technical jargon anywhere. Nice logo.

    So if Cervelo are infringing on other's design why do they cost so much?

    what makes the news better for me is the bloke who services my canyon is a cervelo dealer :lol: and a while back :twisted: we were taking about how similar my cf slx is to a r3 and he thought canyon may have copied and this is in germany. Can't wait to see him again how.
