My had the LHS seat stay crack on his recently. He thought it was from an impact but it's cracked right through the stay, and before he dropped it (ultra low speed tip over on an uphill rock obstacle) he said it was feeling a bit weird in the back end. There are scuffs nearby which are definitely from the drop, here's a pic:That rocky mountain is giving me the willy chillies!!!!

Needless to say he's pretty bummed, at least I have the Avanti Torrent to loan him which is miles better than his old HT Avanti.

Carbon is what you want for road bike frames. MTB, not so much, as evidenced above.So. Takeaway learnings here are dont buy a carbon frame.
Correct. Got a Commencal Signature Meta TR earlier this week. Delivered to my house by the Oceania Manager the day after I paid for it, how's that for service!Good components specs on @yuley95's suggestions
Delivery on the Canyon might be delayed coming from Europe whereas I think (not certain) that the Commencals are in country.
yep, strong agreeSo. Takeaway learnings here are dont buy a carbon frame.
I have bought 2 Canyons. 8 days from order to my porch in Tasmania from Germany. Great spec, great bikes.Good components specs on @yuley95's suggestions

During COVID?I have bought 2 Canyons. 8 days from order to my porch in Tasmania from Germany. Great spec, great bikes.
And good luck getting any warranty out of the Aussie distributor. Very slow process if they actually accept the warranty in the first place.Is it just me or are the current generation of RMs a bit fragile?
