    im goin to ask more experienced boards users question about bike upgrade.

    im thinking of getting new bike and cant decide beetwen:

    1.http://www.canyon.com/_en/roadbikes/bike.html?b=3581
    2.http://www.rosebikes.com/bike/rose-xeon-csl-3000/aid:674696

    never had a opportunity to ride carbon bike.

    thank u for any help in advance.
    The biggest advantage of the Rose bike is the fact that you can customise all key components. If both bikes are comparable, this should be by far the best selling point of any bike. If you know what you need, you can save a lot of money going with Rose rather than buying any other bike and then changing the crankset / stem / handlebars / saddle / cassette, etc. to suit your fit or requirements.

    I just bought a Rose, different model but service was excellent. Just be prepared for a possible wait as there is a backlog on their more popular models. Once they build it though you'll get it in a week.

    The canyon isn't carbon, it's an alu frame. Component specs are similar, but for me it's a no brainer, the Rose is the better choice of these 2.

    If you go with the Rose make sure to sign up for the Rose Card before ordering. You'll get loads of points to redeem against your next purchase - handy if you want to pick up some kit from their huge catalogue
