Hi All
My Baby - Canyon Roadlite AL 7.0 with full Ultegra 6700.
I have had the bike since just before Christmas but due to the weather i have only just really started getting out on it, its miles ahead of my old Carrera Vanquish. Money is short at the moment so this is my do it all bike i commute on it (hence pedals) and try get out on it in my spare time too. I know alot of people slate Canyon for writing Canyon on the bikes to many times but i think its a looker![:D :D](https://forum.bikeradar.com/resources/emoji/lol.png)
Upgrades so far are
Garmin edge 200
Deda elementi mistrale black bartape
Bontrager RXL carbon bottle cage
Shimano PD M520 pedals
Brooks B17 saddle - This does look abit clunky but as a wise old man once said to me "you dont have eyes in your backside"![:wink: :wink:](https://forum.bikeradar.com/resources/emoji/wink.png)
Eventually i would like new wheels and a UDi2 upgrade kit.

Interesting saddle choice. It doesn't look too bad.
Is that a bell.........0 -
Well spotted......was hoping no one would spot that, it is a bell, these photos are taken at the end of spen valley greenway (a cycle path) and i find a bell is a must have when on a cycle path especially in the evening when people are out walking dogs and also people walking home from work - it does only get put on for the cycle-path.0

Great looking bike, I love the look of Ultegra groupset. Other than the saddle, the bike looks spot on and I wouldn't want to change anything.
What was the full cost if you dont mind. Any idea on weight?0 -
That's really good looking, but (you knew this was coming) that saddle looks completely out of place. I know how comfy Brooks are, but have you tried something like a San Marco Rolls? That would look MUCH better and is still one of the most comfy saddles out there.

MTB - On-One Inbred
I have no idea what's going on here.0 -

Nice bike I do like canyons however don't like brooks saddles on modern bikes it doesn't look right each to their own though0

Very tidy... but you are avin a right larf with that saddle on a Canyon.. don't let their boss see it thats all I say.
I am very, very tempted to get that AL frameset with the race license discount for under 600... nice frame for 1200gm0 -
Like It.0

That saddle is akin to putting a roofrack on a Ferrari.the deeper the section the deeper the pleasure.0

Cheers RideOnTime
I like it too.
Like I said originally I do think the saddle looks out of place but IME there are a few choice components where form takes a back seat to function and the saddle is one of them.
So there you go guys I've decided this saddle is staying until I get a full time commuting bike.pride4ever wrote:That saddle is akin to putting a roofrack on a Ferrari.0 -
Love the colour scheme of the black 2013 Roadlite. I ended up wishing I had gone for the black model rather than the white I bought in 2012.
For the price I thought it was absolutely fantastic, you'll enjoy it0 -

Love your cervelo by the way0 -
I nearly got this recently but ended up getting the Ultimate AL 7.0. I wasn't sure about the canyon.com all over it and would probably on balance prefer if it just had the 1 canyon written on the down tube as some of the higher spec and older models do. Having said that, in the flesh it still looks great and rides like the f**kin nuts0

Its £439
EDIT: Sorry, realised you were referring to the Ultimate AL, not the Roadlite0
