You've already a Remedy 9, why would you be looking at something the same, but cheaper, as well?

Well don't get a YT if you can't wait for a Canyon mate!

I reckon the Canyon AL+ looks pretty sorted personally. Patience is a virtue you know.

Just sell the frame, keep all the bits - if its a 9 it'll be a far better spec than the £1700 will buy.
