Redundancy has its perks…

Your candles don’t match.

Nice tyres, though.

No dropper post, what were you thinking ?

Trick of the light. I just double-checked – they do.

Thanks

What can I say? I’m old school – even went for mechanical gears…

Very nice

That’s a lovely looking bike.

check the BB and rear hanger, we’ve had at least 3 “out of the box” canyons in the workshop with issues. all three had mis aligned rear mech hangers and 2 of the press fit BBs fell out when we were checking for “it creaks” issues due to poor tolerances. both got replaced under warranty but that wasn’t a quick painless experience for the owners.

nice colour though

Now that is very pretty!

Nice looking bike that, needs some Di2 mind.

Rocketdog – thanks. The rear hanger seems fine and I haven’t noticed any creaks (yet).

I’m a 10 minute ride away from their UK service center so I can go and make a nuisance of myself if I have any issues.

Nice looking bike but something troubles me.
The bottom of the frame shows the tyres pretty much equal distance away from the photo edge while the mantelpiece meanwhile slopes considerably compared to the top of the frame.

Do you live on a hill?

Neat ride there, but why have you used a crayon to colour in the front mech hanger bar thingumybob?

Mechanical always wins over flat battery/no shift/lazyboy di2.2v6.1 😛

Very, very nice. Good colour, good spec too.

Those black speakers are so 1990 though

ha, nice one, you can ride up and down outside their window raging if anything does go wrong, which i hope it doesn’t!

I agree it is annoying, but such is the world we inhabit, with angles and perspective and suchlike.

Yeah, I’m not sure why that looks like that. There is a red chair out of shot – must be the reflection. I’m sorry.

I think around 1995 actually – JBL Control 5s – I lovingly rebuilt them by hand last year. They are great.

Ahh, I’ve just spotted something that makes me want to hurl…

You’ve got…

on it….

(Still, begrudgingly, like it mind. Because you’ve got skinwalls, cosmics, mechanical groupset and I think you’ll enjoy riding it)

Enjoy, get it gritty and wet in the Autumn… 😀

I’m not sold on disks for road bikes to be honest. Decent rim brakes with decent pads have never let me down. But the bike was a bargain and came with them, plus it gives an option for larger tyres so I’ll live with it.

Definitely has a nice “purposeful” look to it mate.

Great colour too!

Looks cool except for those tyres and the massive spacer stack under the stem.

Expected so much more from you David.
