just wanted to say thanks guys again as the bike you suggested has finally arrived ( thanks realman and mcboo). i got the email on monday saying it was despatched from germany and it arrived this morning, mega quick !!

anyway well chuffed with it and a medium was definatly the right size !

need to get some pedals though as i dont like the ones on there, going for v8’s. any tips on maintanance and servicing are welcomed.

CHEERS LADS

Photos?
Then you can go and enjoy it.

MY CANYON

Nice, I’ve got some trainers in those colours that colorway.
Now, when you’ve got those unsightly books and plastic bag off the window sill you can go and thrash it to within an inch of its life.

LOL will do ! off tomorow going to have a good ride 😀

That is a chunky frame!

still waiting for my strive to be despatched 🙁

Don’t ride around in that current gear though you mill wear out the chain and gears in no time!

it does seem a chunky frame than some , whether thats good or bad i dont no, wieghs in at 12.5kg, again seen lighter and heavier. still pleased with it 😀
im sure it will be despatched shortly,, it was a week earlier than what they said and only took 2 days to get here.

not been out yet on it, just gone through the gears to see if i assembled it correctly, and and thats the last one it landed on lol.

wasnt to sure about what psi to pump the forks upto, i did what the guide said which was about 125 psi. sound rite ( im about 14.5/15 stone last time i checked !)

They have missed the shock off at the back when it was built in that nice Canyon factory……

Looks grand.

That looks like a brilliant spec for £600 and looks really nice.

Do a google search for setting up fork sag on a bike

£600 – thats what bikes should cost. Go rag it to bits chap, tell us how you get on.

I tell you what, that’s a CRACKING looking bike! I do like black bikes too!

🙂

The Canyon Strive’s an ace bike, hopefully it’ll turn up soon. Strange that there’s no reviews of it though? I’ve had mine for a few months now and none of the mags/websites have picked up on it?
