Just popped some new winter (studded) tyres onto my New wheels, on my New Bike...
What do you think ?

I'm loving it... even with the new and pretty heavy 900g tyres it feels faster !
looks business like, which is always good. 😀
Ta... rides well too... although running in the studded tyres on Tarmac @6am this morning was interesting until I learned to trust them !
Mmmmmm nice ...have been looking at their road bikes .... very nice and affordable!
Nice, just to check though, there is at least 1" of seat post below the top tube / seat tube join?
No, not really.. but if YOU do it's all good 😉Do you like my New Bike ?
err.. you need more snow and ice 😉

Yeah there is at least another 3 inches... the nice people at Canyon have numbered the back of the post:
10 at the top (lowest setting) and 0 at bottom (its highest setting) and in the lil' window in the seat tube i'm part way between No 3 & No 4 so plenty there... I do like a nice high saddle for riding to work. Off road it goes down by a few inches. 🙂

I know, and want it to come... roll on tonight & Friday! But I'm just running the tyres in as instructed by the manufacturers.
Not bad, but I like mine better.
That's a lorra lorra seatpost, as Cilla Black might say.
You don't ride in platform boots do you?
Not my cup of tea, but if you are happy with it, that is what counts.
Nice bike, turn offs are the rear light bracket, pedals, "I'm loving it" and the white fork/saddle combo. I like clean lines and stealth, but that's just aesthetics.
What does it work well on? Is it more of an upper or a downer?
I'm a bit envious of your wheels.
Whoa......... thats a lot of seatpost, when will that much leverage snap the frame ?
Nice bike otherwise, just hope it snows.
all you need to finish it off is one of these strapped to the front.then you're away (oh and grow a nice 80's mullet/perm 😉 [img] http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/public/R3ZgIAwEe9QHUMmRHF0oSrEHcpNSm3iFfFCt9VfA383ReoL2nmFxYV-FOnplIs0EU0WVuzmdy_fZ5ODG7DKOm-_nUczBx44zh3Y_stxrSVp49eWs0iam8aIMnTEqJzuTmUhjRjtDYOlQjVdW2fQOi7_onnxXzcLry17XczeUM-I [/img] edit nice bike by the way 🙂

It is! lol and I hope never... its got a fair few inches inside the frame well below the line of the top tube, so will be OK. I like the old arse up-hands down position - that description sounds wrong but hey ho!

Its a All Mountain... so everything really.
It's only got a 1/2 degree difference in head angle to the XC version - but longer travel forks.
Climbs AMAZIN & descends just as good with those 140mm Fox'S taking care of the bumps.
I'm not big on the white saddle or forks but hey at least the white grips it had are now gone! saddle might get changed, and unfortunately the forks will have to stay white - which is a shame as I too love the Stealth look 😉
Frame does look a bit too small if you really need that much post. Nice looking bike though.
Looks like top-drawer kit throughout. Kerrrrrrrching. 🙂
I'll be honest, no i don't like it, but who cares what i think? You love it so that's all that matters
p.s. you might love it even more if it was the right size 😉
The wheels look a bit small. 😛
Christ, never thought I'd say it, but GW +1
and the right size is... down to the riders preference for a small agile chuckable frame with plenty of stand over height, so it fits & suites ME perfectly.
Saddle down on the rough stuff - remember.
I am starting to think there are a lot of folk on STW with very long legs but tiny torsos and short arms.
Heavier tyres make it feel faster...that's the "honour" effect right there.
I agree with njee on both counts
Is it important that complete strangers approve of your bike?
