    Hi,
    I'm still in the market for a TT bike.
    Came across this the other day, seems good value?
    they also do just framset which I'm also considering.
    Anybody know much about them? Ride quality, Delivery, customer service etc?
    Any thoughts/observations welcome?

    LOADS OF INFORMATION about buying from Canyon

    Without knowing much about it or seeing one on the road (or indeed in a shop) it looks like a smashing machine, and the spec is very tasty for the money (as do most Canyon bikes) and it's respectively light weight fro a TT rig. Only qualm is it would probably be handy to have an 11-25 on the back if you're ever likley to have to point it up hill though, though the 11-23 is the classic TT block.

    I'd find out if it's likely to break the 3-1 rule before buying too....

    It certainly looks the business anyway, as does the spec on it! Any idea on how much the frame costs on it's own? Cheers

    Ooops, looking at the frame sizes, the small isn't really that small at all! Probably not suitable enough for me size wise, besides it way out if my budget I would imagine! :P

    Canyon have discounts on framesets if you have a racing licence ("proof of a valid racing license from a European bike sport or triathlete federation"), although the sale prices are even cheaper at the moment. It might be worth a look if you go for a 2010 model.
