If you can spend the money I would go for the new OPEN ONE+ that was just released at Sea Otter Classic.

I just looked through their website, which states head tube angle around 72 degrees. This is quite far off most manufacturers nowadays. I'd prefer something more slack.

A 72 degree HTA on a bike made in 2016?

Is that for real?

Open would do themselves a favor by correcting that if that's a typo. If not, that bike is going to ride terribly.

It says that the HTA is measured from a "sagged position". The medium and small have a 72.7 HTA.

Again open is 27.5" in S size so it is out.

Okay so I ordered canyon exceed 9.9 race. Delivery goes to august but maybe it is worth of waiting. I'm going to do few upgrades to it before riding, but first I have to wait few weeks.

They look like very interesting frames and they'd be right up there on my wishlist if in the market for a new frame. Post it up here when Canyon get around to shipping it to you :)

Yes, that was the only model and colour that had so long delivery time. Volcano red colour would have been shipped in june but I can manage with my old race bike until the end of summer. 870g frame looks promising and I think that my bike would be little under 9kg when ready.

But by the time it's available they will probably have a 2017 model out :) ?

Yes but I don't think that exceed would change in 2017. Maybe 1x12 eagle drivetrain but what else?
My options were pivot les, niner air 9 rdo and this canyon. I got very poor service in niner and pivot shop so I decided to go with the easy way and order canyon.

Good luck getting any customer service from Canyon!!!
