Absolutely, when the Canyon model works, it works well but there are more than a few horror stories out there.

Thomson or Time (same as Specialized) steerings are very good as well.

Do like the look of the 'Look' bars actually, but am trying to keep it as Italian as possible. The Fizik one you linked me to is the cheaper option I am considering.

I recognise the FSA end plate as I have FSA K-Light on the Pinna at the moment.

I have FSA Stems as well and I'm completly satisfied.

Considering the FSA SLK Handle Bar, I had it on the titanium bike until I'he broken it. Changed for the Thomson earning more rigidity on the steering.

That's a cool fleet! Including the Bianchi hybrid, I should have 3 soon. Not that the Girlfriend is very impressed by that idea ha ha.

Happy New Year!

Thanks Pete, I'm not a die hard WW by any means, but then I've only been on here a few days.

The bike shop reopens from Christmas any day now.
