For sale. Canyon Ultimate Evo. 55/56

fat bloke

One for the old school, super light weight, rim brake fans.

This bike is mint and awesome and the pics speak for themselves. ☺️

Before Canyon came up with the CFR they produced these special edition cf slx frames and called them cf evo. I got the frameset and built it up with the lightest groupset ever, the 2nd gen sram red 10 speed. The crankset is red 22, wheels are mavic exalith SLRs, cockpit is canyon's one piece aero, lizardskin tape. Gp4000s on it at the moment. Buyer is welcome to the pedals, I've switched to shimano. Only thing not with it is the saddle. I've a few others here instead

Currently the bike is set up as a climbing machine. I did the Marmotte on it 2 years ago.11:32 cassette, long cage derailleur and 50:34 front rings.

Look, it is what it is. It's peak rim brake bicycling in my opinion. I'd love to keep it but I'm just not using it, I could do with being able to raise the bars a bit but I can't, and I have other bikes and something has got to go.

Been minded like a baby. Sizing is M in canyon which is basically a 56 to 55. It's light as a feather. Low 6kg.

Asking is 1900 ono.

Stunning. I remember seeing one of them in the flesh in Spain and it was pure lust.
Don't suppose you'd sell the wheels as I've been looking for a good set of these for a while?

fat bloke

Thanks Trekker09. The wheels really suit the bike and complement the package very well, so I'd rather not go splitting it. Not immediately anyway.

fat bloke

FYI.

If anyone is worried about my username and excessive load bearing, in reality I'm well within recommended manufacturer weight limits! 😊

I can vouch for that, Lean bloke much more appropriate 👌

fat bloke

"ono" in case anyone missed it. Very much open to offers. 👍

fat bloke

May as well take this down again please. It's seeming about as popular as a stray dog at a crit race.

I'll try my luck elsewhere or have the lightest winter training bike in Ireland. 😊

cracking bike. I’m still firmly in the rim brake camp but absolutely no room for another. If you’re in any way inclined I’d be interested in the seatpost (assuming it’s 27.2).
Would make the bike even lighter without it….

fat bloke

No bother yeah. Bad news is the seatpost is 1500 euro. But the good news is it comes with frameset, groupset, wheels, saddle, bars... 😂

Some bike for that money - just shows the way the market has gone for rim brakes that there is no interest at all. I have an almost unused CAAD12 Ultegra rim brake in the garage that is just missing a quick release axle. Was going to stick it up for sale but probably not worth my while

I figured as much! GLWS or hopefully enjoy the bike for a few more years to come

I've mentioned this to a pal who is looking for bike. Hoping to talk to her later this evening to find out exactly what her plans are. She used to be a cracking cyclist a few years back.

Hey, cheers man. You can hang on to the wheels for yourself then! 😂

fat bloke

This, for me, is the (shut up and take my) money shot. ☺️

Ha! Didn't think of that! She's calling up to me Tuesday evening so I'll know more then. You mentioned 1500 in a comment above. Is that the bottom price or was it a throwaway comment?

I'd love it myself. I've had a couple of Ultimate SLX's and I love them. If I didn't have the Standert I'd be interested for sure

Wide open to offers dude. Beggars can't be choosers!

More than welcome to come see it. It's an absolutely awesome bike in near mint condition. Honestly. Like, I've been doing the same Wicklow gap, sally gap route for years and years now - I just checked strava there, I have 210 recorded ascents of Glenmacnass from Laragh. My strava record was set on the Canyon.

Size and price in the caad 12, I'm sort of semi permanently looking out for a caad 10 or 12

It is a 54 - I live abroad though so likely not worth the hassle of shipping it. Didn't mean to hijack this thread for a nicer bike
