Dropped Glasses Here is one of the most stupid things have done on a ride.... The bunch was stopped on the side if the road when someone had punctured on a group ride up the hills. Glasses were sitting in the top of the helmet. As I took the helmet off, the glasses dropped straight down a...

Not sure if this is correct place for this thread - the mods will prevail. However, have owned a CF SLX for nearly 2 years. Not an issue with the bike build or frame at all and I ride about 10k a year. Brilliant bike, very solid handling on decents at over 90k's and comfortable to ride over...

I had a similar issue last year with Canyon getting a bike to a location they no longer ship to. Fortunately, I was able to organise the shipping via a friend in Germany - they used UPS or Fedex and it cost more than Canyon were going to charge - but I bought the bike directly with shipping FOB...
