Ideally Iāll drop on one with Sram and blips or one I can add blips to.
Anyway, to fat old and unfit atm to justify such a purchase.

Snap !
They look good though
Similar, I have a Speedmax SLX 8.
Which is a lot of bike I canāt really justify anymore and have considered sellingā¦ 
Donāt regret it mind, waited 7 years of doing tri until thought it was one key thing stopping me competing with those around me at the time, but hasnāt been used for 18 months now.
@jeffb I did get a shiv initially in Aus as my first TT bike. Managed to sell at ~Ā£200 loss after a year of good use so not too many complaints from the Mrs there. Definitely noticed a speed difference upgrading to these ultra-integrated/optimised front end bikes. Although I didnāt bother with a complete cockpit change like many do.

@fruit_thief also depends how long youāre willing to wait. I spent close to a year waiting for a second hand bike, before getting it through the Canyons Outlet.
Paid barely more than that price above for the slx 8, but as I say I was looking on the outlet at least weekly (close to daily at times) for a deal.
First time a bargain (IE ~50% off) came up I deliberated, and it was sold just a few hours later.

New bike prices are ridiculous and I swear they do in on purpose not available in small and medium atm. Iām mainly medium but could go small on a speedmax

What is this Outlet magic of which you speak @Chriswim ? New, or second hand?
Section of the canyon website, selling bikes that may have had minor imperfections during manufacturing. Typically itās ~10% off but once in a blue moon you get one thatās end of line stock etc and can get a bargain.
Mine was close to 50%. Maybe right place right time selling into an Australian market

I seem to remember my ageing Speed Concept canāt take above 24mm on the rear if the ādraft boxā is fitted, 25mm without it and they donāt offer much clearance. Not that this was really a thing back in 2011, it was only as the years went by that I discovered the limitations.

Just luck
When I bought it 25 mm were the go too
My e116 is being mended ( hopefully this week)
If .. I can safely get a 25 mm tyre on the rear I might keep it ( front is fine) if I canāt Iāll sell it
Sold my felt last night 23 mm rear max clearance
No good.. nice bike too.
25 mm is the minimum now, prefer 28, 30 perfect!
The roads are ducked and they aināt getting mended anytime ever..
Planet X evo tt bike takes big tyres too I believe
Itās the first thing Iād look at when buying now
