Finally remember to post a picture of my Rose CX-DX 3000-MB. This was from last year so missing the new saddle, 28" tires and replaced the chainset with a 50/34

My Carbon Pro SL (see page 1 of this thread) was written off in an accident a few weeks back. I really loved her - she was a great bike and we had lots of good times together. RIP.
The insurance paid out last week though, so it was new bike time. I spent AGES on the Rose website configuring bikes - which was great fun - and finally decided on ........................ a Canyon! I am a traitor!
Basically I decided to go aero and the paint job on the Xeon CW isn't my thing, so I got a Canyon Aeroad instead.
My Rose CX is still going strong though.

Had first ride out tonight. Did a basic static set up last night so decided to a 20 mile round the block set up ride.
Stopped to adjust the saddle height, and played with some fore and aft settings, but think I'll be putting my faithful Arione on as it feels so comfy!
Regards to the ride apart from the slight fettling of saddle, the bike felt very stable, hood positions comfy, Ritchey Streem bars pretty comfy too and gear change very slick and quiet....a little bit too windy to get a real feel of how spritely it feels in comparison with my GT, but it's certainly no dog!
Money well spent and highly recommended!0 -

Very nice, the geometry looks like it's not too racey, looks quite comfortable. How do you like the Matt UD finish?0

Snappygear that looks very nice, what size frame is it?0

I only did a short ride on it last night and made some adjustments on the way round, so not had a chance to see what it will be like on a longer ride, but I think it'll be ok.
The Matt finish is interesting, looks very much like a distressed look, won't be to everyone's taste, but I like it!0 -

It's the smallest frame they do, when I did their online measurement, I was bang in the middle of a 50 and 53 frame. My GT was a 54 and maybe a tad on the big size for me (only 5' 6" ish) so I went down to the 50 and ordered a slightly longer stem.0 -
I did a short 15 mile ride today, and my thoughts are that this is one hell of a bike for the money! It's no where near as harsh a ride as I was expecting, being it's labeled as their race ready model. I found it rolled much smoother than my Giant TCR, accelerates so easily and really gives you the confidence to go faster. I did 40+ mph down a hill, where I hadn't gone much past 33 previously. Cornering feels direct and responsive and the di2 is superb! My only criticism of it is the lack of feedback from the buttons, sometimes it's not obvious that you've shifted, because it's so instant and the lack of lever pushing on a traditional mechanical system, where you can feel the cable stretching or loosening to change up or down.
But very happy with it! Glad I got it when I did, the prices have gone up £150 since. This one's a size 59cm with a 130mm stem. I'm 6ft 1" and 70kgs.

So this is it:
Ow yeah the saddle is leveled, although it doesn't look like it on these photo's.
Rose Xeon RS-3100 2014 size 55
-FULL Ultegra DI2 50/34 and 11/32 for versatility.
-Mavic Ksyrium Elite
-Ritchey Flexlogic Seatpost (for a bit more comfort)
-Ritchey WCS Evo Curve
-Fizik Arione R7
Added new or carried over from old bike:
-Shimano PD-M520: great pedals had this pair for 3 years now (since i started cycling), and they are still good!
-Vaude Tool M saddle bag, maybe a bit big but it fits alot in it. (new)
-Lezyne Road Drive M pump, love this thing, no to big and not to little, saved me from walking home a few times.
-2x Elite Custom Race Soft Skin Logo bottle cages.(new)
-Bryton Rider 50
-Garmin Cadance sensor.
-Assaver
Will be replaced:
-New gps, probably Garmin Touring Plus with an upfront mount, my Bryton loses satellites sometimes and it's very slow to find them before a start. Also it moves around on this bike, even with an extra cable tie.
-Tires: ordered Continental GP 4000 SII already. Had my first pinch flat on the second ride on a technical descent . The tires are to supple, which is great while cornering and on smooth tarmac, but it's to supple for the Belgian roads and the cobbles!
Got my first 2 rides on my new Rose, and it's fast, especially on the hills.
Acceleration is so much faster than my previous bike. Very happy with the wheels also Ultegra DI2 is so great, i come from Shimano 2300, so it's big change! The brakes are also much, much better than i've had before.
All in all a great bike/buy!0 -
That's very pretty, love the black/green combo! I was tempted by their aluminium frames, does it seem stiff enough for you?
2300 to 6870 is a hell of an upgrade!Rose X-Lite CRS 3100

@KoenM - Great choice - mine's almost the same, apart from saddle, bar tape.
I assume you have the medium cage rear derallieur (GS ?) to cope with the 32t rear casette?
I wish I'd specced the same, as I have some brutal hills near me that I have to grind up. I know, I know, I should just get fitter.0 -

@gregboys Well it's just usefull to have an extra gear if u need it, u don't have to use it.
And yeah it's a medium-cage (or long-cage as there are only 2 these days), if u pick a 11-32 cassette they change it to a long cage. And u can put a 11-28 on a long cage but u can't put a 11-32 on a short cage, that's mostly why i did it, so i have all the options available.
@slap_my_bass_up
Hell is it stiff, i never had a carbon bike but to be honest, i wouldn't know what i would do with more stiffness.
And yeah when i saw that this bike (with the DI2) was €300 off i knew i've had to buy it.
I was looking at the 2015 model with normal ultegra and the anodized black frame, this leftover was only in green but it's growing on me, the green is not to much. I'm not to much of a bikesnob so i first look at what i get for my money, after that the looks, but that's not to important for me.0 -
I have ordered my all black X Lite CRS wih cosmics back in March.

I hope to get m bike late this month. I will post pictures when I get it!!
