Both bikes look amazing my friend, especially the canyon. Whats the weight of both?

Hi, from memory the canyon with lightweights was 6.5kg. No idea otherwise.

Oh to have smooth roads. Lightweights next to useless in the UK

I don't like white bikes but your Canyon is really nice.

You should see the roads here in tropical Malaysia during the rainy season. The potholes are like bomb craters.

We don't have season's here, its just hot and then hotter...

I do miss the UK season's.

The deeper the wheels, the better the bikes looks. Up to a point...

Would look much better with 50mm rims.

I did order the Bora two 50mm but the shop accidently sent the 80s.
As to sending them back and having the correct ones sent out I decided to keep these and accept a refund of the difference, they also agreed to give me them at cost price. In addition, the shop (well known uk bike shop) have also agreed to let me have anything from their website at cost price for the next 12 months.

If I lived in the uk, I would of probably returned them but its a right pain in the assos from here.

I already have the lightweight wheels which are 50mm plus I own a few pairs of standard depth wheels.

None of them actually. And yes, turned out well having the wrong wheels sent out.

What sizes are those frames? They look a bit on the small side.

lone wheeler

48 / xs.

Thanks for the sizing. Its good to see some bikes still looking great in the lower frame sizes. Some do start looking a bit weird when they get to the XS or XL sizes. Saw a set of them Lightweight rims in my LBS a few weeks ago. They were priced at close to something you would apply for a mortgage for. Still looked cool mind.
