the bike left tamworth in Birmingham at 4.20 this morning,the bike wasn't ment to be getting shipped until next week.so well done to canyon on that on,just hope the bike is as good as the service fro
Canyon so far.hoping the bike is here for Monday now can't wait lol..

Well wear, fran oconnor.

I'll be interested to hear what you make of the gearing on it: 48T bigger ring is unusual. I'm considering Roadlite 5.0 or 6.0, if the budget holds up - and who knows what we're all headed for on that score

I ordered my Canyon 8 on the 17th.... still waiting for it to be shipped. Dont know why its taking so long.. I would have though it would be quicker than 10 days to put it in a box, with it being available immediately online?

It says on the site that the AL 8.0 isnt ready for shipping until week 50 between size 54 and 62..mine was here a week early.i have to say it'll be worth the wait,if the 5.0 is anything to go by..

I think that he ordered the Grand Canyon AL 8.0. If you ordered it in black DHFrame I guess you'll just have to drop them a call or an email to see what the hold up is. Just kick started my order today for an AL 6.0 using the BTW scheme. Can't wait!!

Called them yesterday and they said its gonna be next week, so not so bad... I cant wait either! I'm starting to get impatient though : )

i was getting like that also,i was waiting over a month id say though because i ordered the bike when the 2011 range had just come out,still thought it's worth the wait.oh,and i though it was a road bike you where going for sorry..the grandcanyons look fantastic for the money..

Got confirmation of receipt of payments for the GC AL 6.0 today so we'll see how long it takes for delivery.

@ DHFrame - You get your AL 8.0 yet? If so, have you taken it out yet and what do you make of it?

Regrettably I am still waiting for it to be shipped?! I ring them every other day now and I am still being told you will receive the UPS tracking email in the next couple of days. They have till tomorrow evening then I am going to start thinking about cancelling. And I will tell them that also. Something went wrong with my order, clearly, what I think has happened is, I ordered on the 17th, and they fuc**d my order up somehow, got overtook by new people ordering and now I am way back again waiting for another bike. It happens, I don't mind but Its now nearly 14 days for something that was available immediately at the time. its annoying as I have seen how good there customer service is with my own eyes, I got unlucky I suppose. Still waiting..... but not forever either way. : ) I really dont want to cancel, its €2200 fir an equivalent Lapierre which is 2kg heavier. Will be really interesting to see if you get yours before mine which I imagine will be the case.

Canyon are advertising that they will be giving away a free gift with every order placed before the 23rd. Any ideas what it could be? Another bike perhaps

Yeah. Mine I ordered... lol. Bet you 10eur I dont get the gift by ordering on the 17th Nov.

They look a lot nicer than I'd imagined they would. The thick downtube quite resembles that of the Ultimate CF. It was a toss up between a roadlite and an mtb for me through the BTW. I went with the mtb. You'll have to stick those images up on the 'Images of beauty' thread.

Personally I think the look a lot better in Reality than they do on the Canyon Website. As beautiful as the the site is the images of the bikes are quite flat and shinier. Lovely bike.

Just got confirmation the UPS have my bike. All it needs to do now is get across the UK which is on its knees with the weather. Will update on progress times and photos. Need to change the Thread title to Canyon Bikes, Hows it going? LOL.

JI asked out of curiosity what the Christmas Gift was and he told me its Pedals.

Cheers for that. I sent them an email "about my order" but enquired about the gift. Haven't got a response yet though.

Maybe it appears if you add something to Shopping Cart.

I had tried that yesterday but it didn't work for me.

It looks like you'll be beating me in the race. Looking forward to those pics.

Can someone clarify the pre-payment option with Canyon:
"After we have assembled the order, you will receive an invoice with our bank details. As soon as we have received your payment we will send out your order."

So I order, they assemble and send out an invoice, I take the details and run over to the bank and transfer the money to them and then they ship? Ive no credit card and I've never bought anything like this so I'd just like to make sure this is how it works before shelling out. Thanks

yep,thats how its done.they send you an invoice by email and you send them the cash monies..
