    Give Canyon a call, I was on the cusp of Medium and Large according to their charts. Called them up, spoke with a guy there who said he was pretty much the same measurements as me, suggested the large. Perfect fit for me.

    So I've decided on the frame size but now I'm reading problems regarding the VCLS 2.0 post slipping/cracking frames on the ultimate CF SLX frames.

    Reading the spec the endurance comes with this seat post is this still a problem on the endurance frame as I fall into the above 80-85 KG by 2 KG.

    Any thoughts?

    Looks Amazing. Im unsure 105 Shimano or The Veloce.. ???
    ive found a wilier Dealer in italy that can ship the bike over for around £1080 inc delivery.
    the 2015 models in italy are available in red/black, white orange and green black..see wilier.it (he said for some reason atb are only using the white/orange in the Uk) Naturally its red / black combination for me , however in italy a GTR Anthena is available £1250 .. is it worth the extra cost anybody ?? the chours comes in at £1500 ish (a little to much for me..
    Finally all the above bikes can fit Di2 Or Eps.. i want to future proof my bike ,
    The Veloce would need a new mech and chain £120 ish to adapt, while the Anthena and chorus need nothing just the standard upgrade £850 ish.. any opinions ?

    Jim - can I ask what bike size you went for in the end?

    I think I am pretty much in the same boat as you - 182cm tall, 84 cm inseam so the Canyon PPS is suggesting a 56 but a LBS have suggested a 58 for a Cannondale I was looking at. Appreciate some bikes are slightly different fits so not 100% sure whether its best to go with the 56 or 58.

    Have emailed Canyon to see what they say but interested in your stance now you have the bike!

    Aaaahhhh! Cheers for that Jim! Had a response from canyon today who said to get the medium - guess they would just stick with the answer of the PPS but given you seem to be of similar size it makes it a tough decision!

    Is it better to be on a bike that's a little too big or a little too small?!
