Did you go the blue or the black?
The black.. well it's Asphalt Grey to be more accurate. Was tempted by the blue... Went for the safe option

You placed your order about the same time I placed mine. Perhaps we could take shifts in monitoring the order status... That way we can cover it 24/7mat.noslen wrote:New to this forum here, first post. Just letting everyone know that I've ordered the Canyon Aeroad SLX Disc 8.0 Di2 last Wednesday.

Well mine left 5 days ago but has been sitting in Frankfurt the entire time due to missing paperwork. A bit more attention to detail and I would probably be taking delivery about now.mat.noslen wrote:I called Canyon this morning, mine hasn't left yet...

Usually, like clothing sales, they're trying to get rid of their 2XL or XXXS stock. Discounts are usually 5-10%, but on some models you might score 20-30% off a bike that costs $5000 or more. Check this one out, great if you are a pro basketball player:st27 wrote:New member in the forum! Just wondering for those member who has seen a Canyon sale, what percentage would the sales be at 10%? 20% off? I am currently in the market for 1, should I wait for the next sale or have I missed the boat for the year?
Thanks! ST

Pictures!!!Paul B wrote:The Canyon is awesome. I have 2 other bikes including a CAAD10 & BMC RM01 with mechanical Dura Ace.
The BMC is a top ride. It is fantastic on the flat and even better on hills. Rode my new Canyon on a 60km coffee shop ride yesterday... verdict?? Blown away at how stiff and responsive it is. Noticeably better performer than my BMC. Love the Di2.
Considering the huge choice of great bikes on offer... I'm definitely more than happy that I went with the Canyon.

Yea I reckon that Di2 is worth the bucks. I resisted for ages and wasn't really interested. But like most people who try it... well, there's no going back to mechanical. Except of course when I ride my other bikesMububban wrote:*drool*Paul B wrote: Ultimate CF SLX 8.0 Di2.
Is this your first di2 bike? Would you say it's worth the expense over mechanical?
One day, I'll be that guy you sail past, riding super slow on a really nice bike and wondering "Why the hell did he buy such a nice bike if he's so cr@p at riding?" But it shall be my Precious....

The Canyon sizing system demonstrated that an XS would be the size best suited to me. I compared the geometry to that of the BMC RM01 which I also own and found that actually the S was the closest fit. So I bought the Ultimate CF 8.0 SLX size S.... It is perfect. No doubt the XS would have been fine but I'm very happy with the choice I made. And... as a bonus... The Canyon is a noticeably better performer than my BMC. It just hammers!!Popa wrote:Hey folks. I'm seriously considering buying a Canyon. Ultimate CF 7.0. My only uncertainty comes from not being able to test ride it first for fit. I'd love to hear about other experiences using the Canyon sizing process and then getting the bike to fit once you get it. Did it work well?
