    I bought it from these guys: http://outlet.upgradebikes.co.uk/
    It is stocked in many places online. I bought an alu frame of the same manufacturer from here: http://www.shinybikes.com/
    Not seen them for sale in shops here.
    This is the manufacturer: http://www.kinesisbikes.co.uk/

    We've probably all seen this so many times, but everything cipollini is a thing of beauty, he's also got big strong italian arms.

    Love that Urgestalt thingy. Name doesn't exactly trip off the tongue but I like the Handarbeit fur Beinarbeit tagline :)

    Here's my new (to me) posh training bike. Thinking it might stand me in good stead for a multi-Alp assault like the Marmotte next summer.

    Ernesto was good for a few pics at his stand when asked...

    The stand made Cipollini, De rosa, Pinarello and most of the rest look fairly average...

    Not a painting but certainly a work of art :-)

    Edit - can't believe it actually is a painting!

    When I ordered my bike I didn't spec the custom Selle San Marco saddle to go with it and despite the cheap saddle they sent being fine I just had a niggling want for the proper one. Thanks to CRC I picked one up for a decent price and it arrived on Friday. Looks much better than the one that came with it IMHO. Vanity ftw.
    So here's the first customisation (kind of)

    This beauty arrived yesterday. Please ignore the dork disc, as I'm removing it as soon as i can :)
    Canyon were a joy to deal with and the delivery via UPS was quick and painless.
    Maiden voyage this morning proved that it is a light, stiff and very comfortable steed :) Let's see how I feel after a longer ride, eh??

    Lovely... how does it ride? I'm undecided on whether to get the SLX or just go with the SL.

    Hi Diggabot. I haven't tried the SL so can't compare, really. Re the ride quality of the SLX, I couldn't be happier. It's solid as a rock under load and rolls nicely, but the comfort is where it excels. I'm coming from a base carbon model Trek Madone and the difference between that bike and this is night and day. There's some fancy fandangled properties of the in-house seat-post that make this bike such a joy to ride and, paired with the surprisingly (to me, anyway!) comfortable fizik Antares saddle, I foresee more hours per week being spent out on the road.

    I was between the SLX and the SL; with the sale, and getting the full Record groupset (which is fantastic), I found it better to push that little bit further rather than be asking "what if" a few months down the line. I'm a happy camper :)

    If you have any more particular questions, fire away!
