Well, I just ordered the bike...I figure I can't go wrong really. I don't think I could buy the components separately without the frame for much less than I am buying the whole bike for. Canyon has a thirty day return policy and if something happens after that, I'll just go looking for a frame to put these components on. I think my final selling point was the threaded bottom bracket. I have never had an issue until yesterday and the bottom bracket on my XC mountain bike started creaking. On the mountain bike, I can buy a thread together version from wheelsmfg.com and fix it permanently. On the road bikes, you don't have that option...I'll put pics up when it gets here.
