Belated pic of my SLX - arrived last Thursday and absolutely love it so far. Got the sizing right, which I guess is always a worry when buying something you've not been able to try first, and it really does offer the sporty yet plush ride I was hoping for.

Spec is pretty much as it was when it arrived from Canyon - full Dura-Ace 7900 apart from the Fulcrum chainset & bottom bracket, Ksyrium Elites, Ritchey WCS stem & bars. Have added my Romin Comp saddle (Specialized have annoyingly discontinued the Comp level saddles, so finding it tricky to locate an identical one in 143mm size) and 105 pedals (couldn't justify the Dura-Ace :lol:).

All in all, very happy 8)

    Am looking at the same for me, just trying to choose the correct size.

    I have also bought and Canyon almost a year ago now.

    Height 183cm
    Bike Size 56.

    I would say that the most important thing to consider is your leg length the rest can be adjusted with a longer or shorter stem. Due to my short legs a 54 would have been fine with a longer stem and more seat post showing.
