Canyon AL v Canyon AL 29

canyongeek

Hi,
I've been looking at Canyon's on/off for at least a couple of years now and have finally taken the decision to part with my hard earned cash.
My dilemma is as stated in the title.....standard AL or the AL 29r (see links below)
I had always had my heart set on the Nerve XC or AL as it is now known but can't help but feel like i'm being swept away by the 29r fever.Just one look at the availability of the 29r indicates that they are currently experiencing a 2-3 month waiting list whereas the std AL is available immediately ?
I can see the attraction of both but am really torn ?
Heart says AL head says AL 29r...........
Help :?

This really should be an automatic reponse....

Go and ride a 29er and see if you like it. If you do, buy, one, If you don't, don't

I wrote a blog post on my 2 days with one, but I/we/them can spout all the bullsh1t in the world at you, you won't know if YOU like it untill YOU try. - http://davekio.wordpress.com/

You're spending upwards of a grand, take a day and make sure you get it right

2-3 months wait ? Really ?

I've been eyeing up the 7/9 HT and their site says they are available now :?

Bottom of the range Nerve AL 29r is showing delivery for week 13 but most are more like 14-18 weeks,
Obviously very popular at the moment.
