    Ha - yep, speaking of modern technology it looks like you've got most of it hanging off that frame, how much do you reckon it weighs all in?

    Looks great - how's the ride quality over rough roads? - I've read that Canyon's are pretty stiff in that Germanic way - are they comfy on British quality roads?

    I think they are good value too - and could be tempted by one myself.

    Enjoy

    Very nice. I think we're going to start seeing more Canyons around.

    Cheers for the comments, all. The weight is below 7kg but I'm not sure quite by how much. The ride quality is really good, on a par with and maybe bettet than the six-13 I have. I think the pre-07 Canyons were very stiff but the newer models are a little more forgiving, plus the 27.2mm seatpost and 700x25 rear tyre make for a more plush ride.

    If it's good enough for Philip Gilbert it's good enough for me.
