    I cam across this on wiggle.

    Cant seem to find a review of it on line. Any one have an experience of it? With almost 50% off and just about in budget if i was to buy today (if I save longer bigger budget) would it be a good buy?

    Personally I ignore the xx% discount messages and look for the same item on multiple sites, and have often found the discounted price to be one of the more expensive ones. That said, it's not a bad looking bike for the money, but at 10kg it's hardly a lightweight either. Pity the Ridley Orion offer on Wiggle has finished up, that was a lovely bike for the money. At nearly 2kg lighter, >€100 cheaper, and 105 rather than tiagra, I'd prefer the Canyon Roadlite AL. YMMV.

    I missed the 10kg weight. My current bike ways less than that (I think).

    The Canyon Roadlite AL looks sweet. To many choices!

    I don't think it weighs 10kg? Looks like the frame only weighs just over 1kg, so I'd imagine it's around 8.5kg in total (of course, I could easily be missing where it says 10kg in big, bold print. If so, please be gentle on me)

    I missed it too but it has it at the bottom

    Weight:
    1030g

    Mind you thats only 1kg so as One_Time that could be the frame

    My bad. Looks like I misread it, it actually says weight is 1030g, or just over a kilo, which I'm guessing is the frame weight. (Still prefer the Canyon though!)

    Can you get any discount codes for the Canyon?

    Haven't seen any, but they come in as one of the cheapest in price / components even without additional discounts. FWIW, I don't actually own one, just like the look of them for various reasons.
