A bit of a wait but:"Hell yeah it was well worth it!". Today I went to pick up my new Ultimate CF SLX from the service centre in Utrecht (shipped there from Canyon for final adjustment) and since I live in Utrecht is al fits perfect. The pictures don't do her right, the red is fabulous in the real light, instead of turning an little bit orange an my pictures. Love the bike, love the ride, I put in some WW magic and made the scale drop to 5,95kg.

Good work, the Canyons have grown on me over the last 6 months.

By the looks of it Utrecht. Amsterdam doesn't have the houses/buildings next to the canals, they are all at street height.

Great bike! Just wonder how it would look like with black bartape

Yep, centre of Utrecht, just 10 minutes away from the Canyon 'service course'.

I really like the white tape. I was going for an all 3k carbon parts (seatpost, saddle, rims, cages) look and chose the white tape, instead of the stock black tape that came on it from the factory, to match the decals. Black could also work, easiest thing to change and have lots lying around, good fun to play around with and next time I think that I'll just might pop on an black one.

Racing2, I also have a new Ultimate CF SLX that I am building up. When I measured it appeared there was no way I'd get a stages DuraAce 9070 powermeter to fit in the narrow clearance between the crank arm and the chainstay (another reason to love pressfit I guess). Your post seems to be pretty clear that it does fit. Is that so? And, any chance you could get a picture of the clearance? Just want to make sure your frame is BB86 as mine is (Canyon swapped at some point). Thanks in advance.
