    In the market for a new bike & very impressed by the canyons, but as there are no dealers with any of them to test, I'm just wondering if anybody has a Ultimate CF SLX which they would be willing to let me have a look at? I'm based in Lucan, but will travel to look if possible? Size would be Medium(56)/Large(58) if possible

    Cheers

    Probably no good to you, but I have a Canyon Ultimate CF SLX, with Sram Red, but it's an XL. I am in Drogheda. You're more than welcome to have a look.
    I got mine in January, great service, beautiful bike.

    The real joy is when you realise, that you've saved about 1,500 Euro, by judicious online shopping.

    Use the Canyon website frame size calculator-thingee-ma-giggy.
    When you are on the page of the bike you want, click "Frame Size" ,then "I Would Like to determine my ideal frame size".
    Input the measurements it shows you to collect.
    It spits outs the correct frame size.
    Although if you know what size top tube you need Id work off that.

    For whats its worth, im 176cm and the Small (Aeroad) was perfect for me.

    It only uses your inseam length, everything else it discards.

    That's what I found, and if you're between sizes it's a bit of a guessing game. Anyway I've got a 2011 model CF SLX in size large/58cm and a 2014 model in size medium/ 56cm. Slight geometry changes between 2011 and 2014 but nothing major, you're more than welcome to have a look but I'm in D18, also I'm not around until after Monday so would have to be some day next week....

    Email your various size stats to Canyon UK.

    They have a more advanced sizing system at their disposal and are only too happy to advise you on a bike size.

    Be careful with the VCLS 2.0 seat post though. If that's a choice.

    Cheers for the advice lads.

    Is there an issue with the VCLS seat post?

    No issues! (That I am aware of)

    But to get the best out of it you need to be aware that you need a minimum of 150mm of the seat post "exposed" from the insert point on the frame to the saddle rails.

    The more seatpost exposed the better!
