Now I have a few nice road bikes that cover everything I do and need, including long distance rides, racing, training, bit of off-road, touring, commuting and so on. I've managed to hit that balance that for me is perfect, every bike does something slightly different - a tool for a job if you will. However, I [s]want[/s] need this in my life. I don't even like discs on fast road bikes, but that doesn't matter. I'm now wondering if I can sell all the others and buy this...

So shiny. Much clean...

I saw GvA's silver Timemachine last night when he was warming up for the ITT and it looked fantastic in real life. Does look a bit Canyon-y to me though... like a cross between an ultimate and an aeroad.

Funny you should say that - I'm currently on the Canyon website trying to work out how many bikes I need to sell to buy an Endurace..or an Aeroad disc, or an Ultimate disc....they come in that orange colour too....

I know they are great bikes and get great reviews, but every time I walked into the garage and saw that rear end, I would die a little inside

That is a lovely clean uncluttered looking bike. Seeing it has confirmed one of the reasons why i'm preferring the look of disc road bikes. Its the rim profiles and not having a grotty looking brake track. I bought a tcr pro disk a few months ago and whilst out riding the other night ago I noticed how nice and clean the profile of the carbon rims are compared to more traditional box profile on a rim brake wheel.

It does look very nice indeed - but at €11k I think i'll pass

Having stared at it for a bit longer, it's the cleanliness of the lines and lack of cables I like. And DA 9100 helps....

I've been on Canyon and the Aeroad is tickling my fancy, in the same colour. Not quite as pimp but then not 11k either!

Mike - every day is a new bike want day. Yesterday I wanted a Colnago Master, the day before that a 29er Session...

Plastic bike painted red - don't get where the 'beauty' is?
