Afternoon,

Looking at getting one of these (its on my short list with a few others) but trying to find anyone that has one, without it being a press review is quite hard.

Just wondering if anyone here has used one and what are their thoughts on it and if they bought it frame only and built it themselves or went for the complete race ready built one?

Thanks in advance.

    Have they even shipped yet? There was a guy on the other day saying his had been pushed back to January (original delivery date was this week).

    Frame only, Canyon don't represent as good value as their full builds do (seriously, for the £500-ish difference between frame and base-model you get a top-of-the-range fork, decent wheels, a Reverb and an X1 drivetrain).

    I swear I saw one on someone's roof driving past CyB car park last Saturday afternoon. Factory team colours, looked amazing. No idea who it was or how he got one...
