    I meant to say I went with a size M (I'm 5'9") and it fits me perfectly although the Canyon calculator was telling me to go with a size Small.
    I find it light, responsive & fast and the front end is a bit lively.
    Need to keep an eye on it!


    Best of Luck Furiousox

    I'm 5'9". Canyon told me M, so did bike fit but it was too big for me!

    Same, I'm 5 9 and did actually go with a small and it fits perfect with a slightly longer stem. Its a racier fit though.

    Yeah there's not a huge difference in measurements between the small & medium ucf.
    The lower headtube on the 'S' was one of the things that put me off.
    (Flexibility is not one of my strongest points)
    The ucf M geometry is pretty close to my previous bike (Scott CR1) which was another factor in choosing.
    100mm stem on the M.

    I'm 5'11" and also went with the Small frame, ultimately changing out the 90mm stem for a 120mm. Like yourself, it's a racier fit.

    English is the surname of the designer/builder.

    If I can be pedantic for a moment, the logo actually only shows St George's Cross and St Patrick's Cross. St Andrew's Cross has wider lines which would hide the "Irish" cross.

    Trying to get used to it is the problem. Used it in one sprint Tri after getting fitted correctly on it and just can't use it. Sticking to the road bike.

    First carbon bike in 4 years. The basic Canyon CF SL with 105 though with a KMC chain. Definitely some cost saving on the part of canyon with their own brand bars and stems. I didn't like the shape of the bar that came with the bike so changed for a Ritchay Comp - a basic enough bar which still came in 80g lighter than Canyon's own brand bar. Anyway...

    Dude, you have to tell us your height and what size frame you went for.
    It's compulsory for Canyon owners. ;)

    Yeah glad I got my Canyon before the switch to their own brand stuff.

    I love the look of that badge on front of my ritchey stem :D

    Ah yeah, should have mentioned.... its a size L! The same as the Ultimate Al I'll use now for the poor weather. I'm 5'11 (and hover around 74-75kgs).

    Thanks, interesting what you said about the shape of the bars.
    I'm not mad on them myself, I've a pair of hong-fu carbon bars here I think I'll throw on mine instead.

    My new Olympia 849 up in a very foggy Conor Pass on her maiden voyage. Sincerest apologies for the saddlebag. It's one cracking bike but I can't help but think I'll have to buy a set of FFWD F4R's to match the red:rolleyes:
