Hi!

Some pictures of my new Canyon Ultimate CF 9.0.
Haven't ridden it yet as I'm waiting for some new shoes. Can't wait though!

    Very nice, i do think these look better in white than the stealthy black.

    +1 on the white colour scheme.

    I'm becomming a big fan of the Canyon Ulitmates...I'm torn between these and the Kuota KOM for my race-bike purchase next year...

    Kinda freaky, I got my canyon ultimate yesterday as well!

    With Ultegra + Ksyrium equipe in white, such a beautiful bike. Enjoy it!!

    Bought the very same, albiet a bit smaller only a couple weeks ago :).

    How you finding it?

    Mind if I ask how much you paid for it too?

    It's my first carbon bike so it's big step up in terms of comfort. I don't like the saddle though, so I'm probably going to replace it. Handles very good as far as I'm conserned, but then again I'm no expert on that field :)

    I paid about 18.000 NOK inc. VAT which is 25% in Norway.

    What size did you opt for? I've always had 54's and am 5ft 9.

    At 1,86 meters I'm usually a 58 on other bikes, but Canyon recommended that I should go for a 60, so I did.

    Bought a Fizik Antares and some Lizard Skins bar tape :D

  • Very nice and definitely on my n+1/replacement if anything happens to the Cube list. Hope you're enjoying riding it. Presumably the 60 rather than the 58 is a good fit - I'd be a similar size

    Oh man! Sorry about that...

    You should probably talk to your doctor, maybe he can get you on some nitroglycerine.

    I've been to the Doctors today and he said i need to get a bike as he's all out of nitroglycerin :lol: .

    The top one is taken on vacation at my parents in the north west of Norway, and the bottom one is taken on the balcony of my flat in Oslo :)
