So I bit the bullet last week and ordered a Canyon Strive CF 7.0.
Assembled it last night, only took about 45 minutes, having never worked on a bike I thought that was OK.
Canyon have been great to deal with, and fast!
There are a couple of blemishes on the frame, I might give them a call about it, They also switch the brakes over to aussie mode but don't reroute the cables so bit of a birds nest. Think I'll upgrade to a 1x lever for the seat post so will sort out then.
Chain reaction are a bit slower, and split my order over two deliveries on the same day (one turned up and one still enroute) so waiting on peddles and new hat for the noggin.
This is my first non trek purchase so we will see how it goes.
Future upgrades
1x lever
54t hub ratchet
Maybe better front brake, see how it goes.
