Canyon Roadlite AL Evo frame

Raffles

Frameset including carbon fork and a Ritchie WCS stem from Canyon for £399.00. Anybody ever tried one and can give an opinion as to how they found it to be ? On the website it says they are currently sold out.

I've got that bike and currently put it up on sale. However, I will probably keep it as I don't really want to sell it, I'm just being forced to by my other half. It's a great bike, cannot really see big difference when compared to my full carbon bmc pro machine with sram red etc, etc. It's just as fast and comfy. For twice that price you would struggle to get any better. Believe me... and that's why they are sold out and will be available for few weeks/months at the beginning of next year.

PS. it also builds very light bike, lighter than all low end carbon etc. Mine comes up in 8.5kg with pedals, bottle cages etc and heavish mavic aksium wheelset, which is also great by the way for the price. So, if you manage to source that bike then you should not think twice

They are popular and sell out

They are very popular. I am in Bourg st Maurice at the moment and cannot believe how many bikes I have seen with this frame. Seems to be very popular with the kind of cyclists that effortlessly breeds up Cols

Stretch the budget and go for the AL Ultimate. Is far better than the Roadlite.

It'll be the only bike you'll need believe me.

I'm waiting for my Ultimate AL 9.0 to be delivered..... Can't come soon enough; I've been drawling over this bike for months on end and ordered this week..... Still amazed at the 7.4kg (L) for a full built bike costing £1300!!!!
