    Hello ! advice and why

    If I had bought a Rose then I would have always wondered if it was as good as a Canyon.
    I have Canyons and never have this niggling doubt.

    IME the Canyon has these attributes.

    But to be fair I have not ridden the Rose.
    Never considered a Felt as it is American :D

    Rose. Rode both Canyon and Rose bikes at the bike shoe in London and the Rose CRS3000 was the better bike IMO.

    I'm glad to hear that as I ordered my Rose CRS-4400 at the weekend after having a test ride in Bath with their UK rep (Fin). Bit gutted that the estimated assembly date is 21st May, that's approaching Canyon waiting times! :lol:

    I ordered my CSL 3500 on 7th March and it arrived on Tuesday, a week early. I did the same as you and tested a few before ordering.
    Don't be downhearted, it'll be worth the wait!

    Cheap, nice choice of words, I'm sure that all the Canyon, Rose and Felt owners on here love you :wink:

    First sentence I'd suggest Planet X, Ribble or Boardman (possibly Canyon given what you get for the ££).

    From your later choices, I'd take the Rose (I haven't ridden one but I know several people with them and everything I've heard about the bikes and the company has been very +ve).

    Well what sort of answer was he looking for? I test rode the bikes at the bike show (not shoe!) In London. There wasn't much in the way of hills in the excel arena....

    And I bow to your prowess at never making a mistake...
