    I went for the Canyon last night - picked up; http://www.canyon.com/_en/roadbikes/bike.html?b=3241 estimated delivery by May at the latest which is not bad. Great spec, simply couldn't find better for the price.

    This model is top of my list for the very same reason. I'm still waiting to see the prices of the 2014 SLX, as the 7.0 looks great in Stealth with the Exalith wheels, or maybe those in the outlet may get cheaper still but I require a medium so most have already gone.

    I actually like the silver/blue version, so available end of January, but do like the look of the black/white/yellow colour scheme avalable on some of the other models. Not seen any real life pictures of the black/grey.

    Yup, i'm still trying to decide on whether to go for one of the Canyons (and the long wait associated with them) or the Planet X RT-58 which i'd probably get in a few weeks and also has the 6800 groupset. The planet x doesn't have quite as good finishing kit or wheels, but it's also £380 cheaper than the Canyon CF SL 9.0.

    The Canyon CF SL 9.0 has ultegra 6800 doesn't it?

    I'm very close to pressing the button on a shark silver one... I really want a stealth but they don't do one in the SL, so the choice is silver or black and I really can't wait until May for one.

    Yeah, the Canyon has 6800 as well. But the wait is til Jan for silver and May for black. Seems a very long lead time which is kind of putting me off.

    As luck would have it on Canyon's twitter page is a photo of the black/grey CF SL;
