Looking forward to knowing the final weight! are you going to put white or black bartape?

bendertherobot

Oh black!

Weighing might be an issue, not having the best equipment. I balanced it on the scales as best I could earlier and it appears to be 5.9kg so far. With only cables and chain to go. I suspect that's a bit out!

White bar tape in the summer, black in the winter. Need to change the saddle colour though. That is going to be one nice ride.

Hmmm. Did you think about standing on the scales yourself with and without the bike and working out the difference? Easier than trying to balance a bike on the scales

bendertherobot

Yes. It came out at 5.9kg. I don't think the scales are all that good

Nice bike eh?

Few of 'em about here.

I'm VERY happy with mine (though with Mavic Krysium equipes, a selle italia saddle and ultegra components, and in white).

bendertherobot

I have only one more desire.

Where can we get Canyon jerseys?

I want the exact same to partner my bike, cant track any down. closest i can find is a Katusha jersey which i do quite like actually.

bendertherobot

Aye, I don't do team kit, but it's not a bad top all in all.

bendertherobot

Right, Cosmic Carbones. Yes or no?

kamatt22

SLR?

bendertherobot

Nah, mere SL's I am afraid.

Lovely looking bike saddle looks good!

Paul 8v

The more I see these the more I think they look like a good idea. Especially the one with Athena :-)

bendertherobot

These were cheaper, and lighter.

DT Swiss 240S hub version with DT swiss spokes.

Nice wheels....can I be rude and ask where from and how much?

Bike looks well.......but sorry....those new wheels don't 'match' imo re the overall look...... although I know they're a decent set of hoops blah blah.
Did you get the all in weight?

bendertherobot

It was about UCI or just a bit less. Saved 100g with the saddle, lost it with the wheels. So should remain the same

foreverpedalling

Looking good!

moserism

So good...

bendertherobot

Ta!

Work in progress, I'll be done when I've added SRAM RED BLACK rear mech and shifters

But for now, chainset added

They have a cunning choice of hubs with J spokes, which means you don't have to bin the whole lot when the rim is due for replacement. I have had those hubs, they were brilliant

bendertherobot

Yep. That was part of my rationale. Proper hubs, proper spokes. They run, as far as I've been able to test, very nicely.

They're slightly aero and pretty much on weight (around 1650g).

I'm under no illusion that they'll make me faster but I've always wanted some 40 (ish) mm. And they were pretty much £400 off RRP

I bought some H plus Son SL42 rims this morning... I think I love them and I think I will fit a set on my Croix de Fer...

bendertherobot

They look fabulous! I'd opt for black and not worry about the anodising as they are proud of the rest of the rim and could easily be "sanded off."
