Looking into getting one soon, couple of questions though.

Has anyone got one firstly? What are your thoughts?

The issue I face is firstly sizing, only 3 sizes and normally I'd get a56/58 but being TT bike you want smallest frame possible so thinking medium be great. I'm 6ft around 33leg.

Secondly, canyon do drop prices around this time I believe and worried if I buy the 2014 model( basic) then they drop prices very soon and I'll be rightly pissed Lol.

Ideally I'd get the 2013 model with the raynold wheels but sadly they sold out. So having to get one with magic comics( not great but they should be ok)

Cheers for any info

    The adage about smallest frame possible no longer applies for the current crop of top end aero bikes. In fact you'll probably find pros using larger frames than they used to.

    I had a look at one yesterday here in mallorca and napd is right the small was bloody tiny! Check the sizing. I ride a shiv and was looking at the speedmax and while its a cool looking thing i didn't think the quality looked particularly well finished. Road bikes seem much better.
