    Now boys, no laughing, here are a few pictures to admire :)

    My wife bought this on Sunday, from a car boot sale.

    €40, and just needed a patch on a rear tube.

    Thanks, its almost totally original, and rides beautifully. Very little use from new, I would imagine.
    Missing tail light and the pump.
    Looking at some online forums with old brochures scanned in, it seems to date from about 1988.
    Small for me though, you can hit that Simplex gear lever with your knee and accidently shift up!

    She's a beauty! Looks in perfect nick. Old french bikes are the business ;) Well wear Nek :D

    I never put Henri in here but I suppose I should.

    Looks like the endurance aluminium. (Carbon firk/aluminium frame) Some of those alluminium canyon bikes are lighter than low end carbon ones though.

    My wife has one as well, very comfortable to ride, far to small for me but have used it a few times, if I higher the seat to the max, and get into the drops, it makes me look like some weird Graeme Obree TTer copycat.

    Must throw up a pic, I think hers is from the 70s, mint condition but had to replace the wheels and tires, will get ones with a tan wall the next time as they would suit better.

    Anne Haug's Canyon.

    Love the paint. Not so keen on the wheel decals or references to pedestrian sports.

    Are they trying to make "canyon" a verb?

    The phrase Swim, Bike, Run always niggles my grammar OCD.

    Surely it should be Swim, Ride, Run.

    As opposed to the Irish Triathlon; Drink, Ride, Sleep.

    Or even better the full Quad; Drink, Ride, Sleep, Ride.

    Though its more likely the Friday night special; Drink, Puke, Sleep (no Ride).

    I'll get me coat...

    .

    If we're going to be pedantic, which we are, it should actually be "swim, cycle, run". Riding is something done to an adversaries mother.

    But the yanks and Canucks like to use "bike" as a verb. They bike here and there, discuss the toughness of their bike and talk about what a great bike they just had, when they mean cycle.

    they/them/theirs

    Ah, but that might be short for "(Cycle a) Bike To Work scheme".

    Anyway, beauty...

    Was thinking the same myself the other day and I even had a fleeting thought that their kit would be one I would buy...if I did that sort of thing.

    Yeah, problem is then you'd be that guy who wears pro kit matching his bike.
