So it arrived over a week ago, and has been for several dusty rides. LOVE IT.

Spec at Canyon's website

Things that will be changing are the grips and the saddle (not so comfy). Also might sell the Fox forks for some 120mm SIDs.[/url]

    Surprised that you may be selling the Fox's, thought they're supposed to be excellent?

    Very nice bike though, the more I see, the more I'm tempted to get one myself! :lol:

    Great spec for the money bike, would be nice to see some shots in natural light to show off the paint job :) ,maybe some action shots?

    They are really good, I'm just worried about the service intervals. But I will man up from now on. I promise.

    Took exactly two weeks, but that included the Easter weekend.

    Action shots are on their way, natural light ones also.

    That's pretty good. Taking over that to get my new bike from Wales. ;)

    (But to be fair that dose include some delays outside the shops control).

    Yeah it was pretty good, the few days I spent constantly checking the UPS parcel tracker were torture.

    I'll get some pictures showing off the colour because it really is nice, and much better than the black.

    Minor update.

    I replaced the grips because they were pants. Got some Superstar green and gold lock on ones.

    I had 1x9 on the bike this replaced so I've decided to go 1x10 with a 34 tooth chainring up front. To this end I've ordered one of these in gold flavour and a Superstar XCR chain guide.

    Photos will go up when they arrive and are fitted.[/url]

    hi, looking at getting one of these next year, a few more pennies to save up first.
    what size did you get, i'm 6ft 2", probably opt for a large?
    thoughts would be welcome.

    I'm 6 2" and got a large AM 8.0 which is a perfect fit for me.

    Went 1x10 as promised with a Superstar XCR chain device and a gold E*Thirteen 33 tooth guide ring. Nice.

    I am liking the gold bling, I think a gold seatclamp is next on the list.
