Hi all. Last august my canyon endurance al arrived. Ultegra group set. Absolutely love it. I cant help but look now at the canyon cf 9 with di2 changers. The question is should i just upgrade the wheels on my current canyon or go mad and get the cf.

I have posted on here last year and found it helpful. I am a leasure cyclist with COPD. Howver cycling has really really changed my life. Lost 10 stone. More active now. Cycle 200 to 250 km weekly. Pace is slow but hey it just means at food stops all the bananas are gone by you younger and not so young greyhounds

My mate was telling me this morning on our Tuesday spin that he pulled back from the brink of buying a new bike and will probably just get 2k's worth of groupset and new wheels as his current frame is immaculate.

You have earned it! Well done and congratulations on the weight loss, ten stone is amazing!

Go for the new bike, keep the Endurance as a "winter" bike, put the wheels from the new bike on the Endurance, buy a really good wheel set for the new bike. You'll then have a spare wheel set, which obviously everyone needs.
I think, I covered all bases.
Well done on weight loss.
Keep 'er lit.

What about a mountain bike for the trails. Variety is the spice of life.

Would you believe i have one. I got it on the cycle to work scheme. I use that to charge into town etc. Will never get rid of it. It was the bike that introduced me to cycling. First time on it i cycled to the bottom of street. Had to stop because i was out of breath

Obviously have to buy another bike to store the spare wheelset
