Canyon Roadlite 6.0 - Swap or sell

paddymacsporran

In October 2010 I bought a Canyon Roadlite 6.0 alloy frameset with ritchey carbon forks, iridium seatpost and cane creek headset. I built it up with 105 shifters and mechs, tiagra brakes, sram force bottom bracket and sram compact chainset, pro stem, bontrager bars, pro-logo saddle, 105 hubs and open pro rear rim, drc st17 front, conti gp4000 tyres.

Canyon delivered the frame a size too small :rolleyes: according to the chart on their website I should have been a 52 (compact) and they sent me a 50cm in error. Instead of the hassle of sending it back I built it up, but after a few spins I've had to admit it's too small for me - Looking to swap for something of similar quality in a 52 compact or 54cm standard, happy with a bit of cash either way.

To sell it I would be looking for €800, the bike is almost like new.

Hi Paddy,

What height are you and what is inside leg measurement if you don't mind me asking? To get an idea of the sizing of the Canyon.

I could be interested in swap. I have a 2010 focus variado expert compact with very little mileage. It's a 52 and I'm 5ft6 and have felt it was a little large. My plan is to get a new shorter stem and see if it helps as I think saddle as far forward as will allow.

Let me know if you've any interest - I wouldn't know how the other components compare (both mainly 105 as far as I can tell) but we could sort that out maybe.

Thanks

I would say it would. Bike absolutely for sale now, just put my name on a new bike in a bigger size, €800.

I should also have said that I too am 5'7'' and when I bought my Canyon Ultimate CF frameset their calculator suggested that I go for the size 50.
