Just put my stats into that Canyon size guide calculator thingy for the craic and it's telling me I should go for a 52cm.
At 174cm I would have thought a 54cm was the right size for me.
What height are you 'canyon' boys and what frame size did you go for?
Lovely bikes btw.

I'm 180 and got a 52cm on the PPS recommendation. The inseam seems to be the main measurement that varies it - mines 79. 52 feels fine to me but I reckon 54 would too. I don't think 2cm in the frame is going to be anything so extreme that you can't solve with saddle and stem adjustments. If you are buying canyon bidons with the bike I'd recommend getting the smaller size for the down tube as the canyon bottles are about an inch and a half longer than standard so they are a bit tight on the down tube of a 52cm frame. Great bikes btw.

So does the 52 frame have a 52cm top tube & seat tube c to c?
Is there a geometry chart anywhere?
(Can't find one on the canyon website)
The 'outlet' frames are tempting price wise but only larger sizes left.
Nowhere else sells these frames, you buy them direct from canyon is that right?

My 54 is very close to being a 54, id go for one while they still have them on special

The Ridley I bought from RobFowl some time back, have changed the bar tape and cables and added some water bottles and my garmin. Haven't done the machine justice yet but am in the process with some 150+km spins behind me. Lovely bike to cycle and a massive improvement on my mtb.

New tape always blings out a bike ! very nice

colusssus, whats that saddle like?

It's the specialised toupe Ti 130 and I have to say I find it pretty comfortable. Although it's pretty firm with little padding it seems to suit. I'm not used to road saddles having previously just ridden mtb saddles but it didn't take long to get used to it at all. My second cycle on the bike was 175km and although the posterior was a little tender after I don't know if it would have been any better in the mtb saddle I was used to. That was also done in a cheap pair of shorts I got in Elverys but I've recently bought a decent pair of bib shorts.

Thats the best place to keep your bike ! in the bedroom haha

have one of those myself!

pretty happy with it so far, although already looking for bigger and better courtesy of this thread!

have to get some mileage under the belt to justify another spend though...

Its made by Bianchi, just like Colnago & Ferrari.

Tax Man,

Is that a track nut spanner mounted where the seat tube bottle cage goes? Nifty!
