Age 59 - this is the Canyon
- I've been hankering after a new bike for a while. Not that I truly needed one. My Felt is an unbelievable road machine - I love it to bits. But the Felt is 9 years old, things are wearing out, and though the ride got even better when I added (LightBicycle) carbon wheels for it last year, the carbon rims made the rim brakes feel pretty dicy. So I began dreaming of this Canyon (Utimate 9 SLX). Disk brakes and Dura Ace DI2 to boot, This winter, I was aware that it was possible that I would be selected for a very high career-capping honor in the spring, and so I told myself that if that happened, I could buy myself the dream bike. In February, I said to myself, "oh hell, that isn't going to happen. And besides, the stock market is high -and I should get that bike anyway.." So I did. Later, the honor happened too.....
Photo isn't perfect and also for this ride I just have crappy 105 SPD-SL pedals. Normal pedals are the Favero-Assiomas.
