Serious bargain you have there Greg.

Very nice Greg and not even a hint of a 'bouncy ride for an old man'

By the way mate if you want to change the pedals I'd be interested in the superstars

the back one didn't even make it out of his garage. Front one is available for sure.

They are already off the bike and XT spds on. Make me an offer if Cubist isn't after having them.

I revelling in the fact that the lovely Helen has let me keep 'Charlotte' (as she's been named in honour of previous owners new baby, and someone I knew of the same name who died last week) in the dining room. A line has been drawn at the bedrooms though.

Pretty much my view. £900, all the paperwork and associated Canyon bits'n'bobs, spare mech hanger, and it looks like it just came out of the packing case.

There ruddy well better be. That's one of the reasons I've bought it!

Grips, flat superstar pedals, tiller sized stem, topeak defender, and too small front rotor have got to go. Along with the seatpost which will be replaced with a dropper post.

Skinny 2.1 Nobby Nic tyres, Avid Elixir 3 brakes, STX shifters and STX front mech all a bit low rent but can all stay for now until they wear out break or become tiresome.

Other than that pretty darned perfick.

Photo's to follow

Give me a shout when you get the dropper post. I have some spare hose guides that screw into the plugged threaded holes on the underside of the top tube that you can have.

Ordered it last night!

Pedals will be in post at lunchtime, work related mentalism allowing.

Nice. Reverb vom Vaterland perchance?

Yep. Was going to get another gravity dropper off CRC but the saving margin vs reverb on bike-discount.de has evaporated to the square root of bugger all.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

New cockpit ordered. Short stem, wider bars, grips, all from on one, along with a new seat collar as a QR seat clamp has no place on a bike with a dropper post.

Sticking with riser bars rather than Fleegle's for now because I'm a shallow vacuous tart and on-one don't do fleegles in matt black.

Need to find a nice 203/200mm rotor to go up front, may well go Avid G2 to avoid changing the back one too.

Greg, those pedals arrived yesterday and I picked them up form the sorting office this morning. Thanks, they're lovely. Those hose guides are on their way to you.

Have you ridden the Nerve yet? Can't wait for a report.
