    Normal but wrong. You shouldn't be using that large-large gear combination as you are putting too much sideways stress on the chain.

    He means your bike is facing the wrong way for the camera :)

    Also, Fido looks like he is about to cock a leg and degrease your chain.

    Hi PlanetX,

    Thats one cool bike, not entirely sure which model it is?
    Any chance of a test report?
    I am interested in a custom geometry Echo, as my merlin works cr is rather twitchy due to it's 73.5 degree head tube angle.

    Happy Cycling:) SD....

    That's a cheapo "Eclipse" with Campag Record. 53cm. January 2009. (Remember when the exchange rates were really good, combined with a sale ;))
    Previous chariot was a Focus Variado Expert Aluminium so no comparison in rides. The Enigma, a few pounds lighter seems to accelerate a lot better, stiffer, lighter.

    This thread makes me want to buy many new bikes.

    I think that Storck I've been promising myself may be bought pretty soon.

    Hi, I haven't cycled this yet. It is a warranty replacement for an R3-SL, which I got a bike fit done on. Both frames have the samw geometry. I might try removing one spacer at a time and see if it is ok.

    Boardsie in Canyon purchase shocker.

    Canyon Ultimate AL, 58cm, 7.3kg as pictured.

    Race bike frame swap. Will probably change stem to get more drop and reach.

    edit: stem swapped, steerer cut, required position achieved. Thanks DirkVoodoo!

    Was it the 'cankles' that swayed you towards the AL?

    Neither yourself nor furiousox appear to have the VCLS seatpost which Canyon advertise as coming with both framesets/bikes? Did you buy an older model from the outlet store or are Canyon after pulling a fast one?

    @ uberwolf - My Ultimate CF seems much stiffer than my previous carbon bike (BH Classic G2) and is much stiffer than any other bike that I've tried. I doubt you'll be disappointed with yours. Looking forward to seeing it up here.

    That, the price, and the curiosity to find out what a hopefully well-sorted AL frame feels like to race on.

    Outlet. Advertised as an "Ultimate AL Frame Superset 2009", €600. The decals look a bit 2008ish though. The seatpost is a 27.2, which is slightly irritating since I have several nice O/S carbon seatposts which I can't use.

    The frame seems well finished (the BB slipped in very smoothly) but I'm not a fan of the tall headset or ridiculously non-standard 1.25" steerer.

    That's lovely.
    I'm only starting to hear about those Stevens bikes. Looks smashing. Where di you pick it up? -Someone was telling me they offer 50% off replacement frames if you crash. ?

    @ Lumen - love the ghost rider stealth-shadow machine :D Wheels crying out for loud coloured decals though imo



    Yeah - just found this on their website:

    We offer our CrASh rEPLACEMENT program for all STEVENS
    carbon road and mtb frames built since 2010: in case your frame
    suffers irreparable damage from a fall or a crash, you can purchase
    a replacement frame at a special discount of 50%. This renders the
    purchase of a high-value carbon bike a safe bet–at no additional cost
    to you. For the terms and conditions refer to your STEVENS retailer or
    our website www.stevensbikes.com

    Sounds fantastic. And that blue and white SLR above s available from Fitzcycles.ie for 3700 ish with sram red, which if it's as good as it looks, is a pretty smashing deal imo
