Even still, I have a couple of other bikes on my radar, replacing my backup/trainer bike with a steel rig that I can beat up a bit more, and possibly even a new TT bike (frameset), as that aligns with my racing goals a bit more.
A note on Canyon - a local carbon repair guy gets lots of Canyon frames going through.... might not be the best quality. Having said that, a lot of people really, really like the way the Aeroad rides. I have my eyes on a Propel or maybe a Gen8 Madone, whenever that time comes. Might not be till next year.
Frame warranty is 6 years on a Aeroad. That’s about the lifespan of a racing bike in competition. I wouldn’t have purchased it without a good warranty.
