Rode Showermans yesterday, **** me, awesome does not even come close!

Hammerschmidt, RS Vivid and Totems, Deemax wheels and dual-ply Minions, Havoc bars and stem, the list is endless - all for under £2700!!

Planted, agile, constant acceleration, soaked up everything, just wanted to go through things!!

like a tank but heavier!!

He rode it in the peaks just to use it for the first time, at 37Lb he struggled on the ups somewhat!!

Bought for the alps etc

On a mountain in Scotlandshire maybe.

Got my frame a few weeks ago and built up with stuff from DH rig and a Hammerschmidt, reverb etc, also only had Fox 40's in the garage so put them on till I decide which fork I want, but it's so good with the 40's shimmed down to 180 I may just leave em on as it looks the dogs with 40's on it, really nice buil quality and Canyon were a delight to deal with.

They seem like outrageous value, saw one in the flesh up at the fort and it looked decent. Spec certainly makes the new Patriot look a bit ill.
