Canyon nerve xc build

After spending this year on a specialized xc comp I decided I wanted something a bit newer and with more travel. So when I was offered a brand new 2010 canyon nerve frame it set things in motion.

How does it ride compared to comp?
Front brake hose now sorted and I also put an extra zip tie on the rear hose to pull further under the frame.
I am going to order a chainstay protector from canyon as the lizard skins one I have fits where it touches... Typical

Cheers for the comment Yes the last versions of the xc were, mine was a little more vintage than that :oops:
I did consider fitting a betd linkage and the adjusting the front fork travel but I have never been a fan of the fox triad rear shox so rather than do that it was not much more to get the frame.

I have dropped canyon an email to see if it is correct and I await a response.
