I've been really wrestling with the new road bike choice. I don't road race, and retired from "amatuer" triathlon after about a decade. Mid 40s. Won't be crit racing, may do the occasional sprint try, but my passion is long rides, preferably with climbing in the mountains - fondos, 5-10k of climbing, etc. The occasional speedy weekly group ride for fun. I'm coming from a Scott CR1, and looking for something that won't have me sitting upright, but also is a little more forgiving on long rides than a straight up race geometry.

I've fallen for the looks of the stealth Canyon Endurace 8.0, has anyone ridden one? Trek doesn't fit me, the Giant was a little too out there with color schemes. Varied opinions welcome and requested!
