Aeroad CF SLX w/ Ultegra Di2

[bastosboi]

After approx. 10 weeks lead time, Canyon shipped the 2015 Aeroad CF SLX to me two weeks ago.
Took it for a short spin today and took some photos.
It's equipped with Ultegra Di2 and Mavic Cosmic Carbone wheels, and damn is it a fast bike
Weighs in at 7.1kg with Ultegra SPD-SL pedals, bottle cages and the computer.
Frame size is XS (50cm).
Only thing missing is miles, lots and lots of miles...

"10 weeks" you must have paid for VIP priority delivery. Love these bikes!

But why no H11 cockpit?

I'm from Germany and 180km away from Canyon

But why no H11 cockpit?

H11 looks beautiful and would surely complement the frame.
However, I wanted to be flexible about the whole cockpit, esp. stem length and handlebar width.
Also regarding compatibility to aftermarket parts, e.g. there is no front-mount for Garmin Computer, since diameter is completely unique (Canyon has announced they're on it).

That's a nice touch being so close.

I almost ordered one of these in December. I wanted the H11, in the end was told the geo wasn't particularly suitable for my biometrics. Decided not to risk it and bought something else.

I did however get in touch with a guy here in the UK that is 3D printing mounts for the H11:

Did you want a more upright position on the bike? Which one did you choose?

[MartyWild]

I had a Retul 3D fitting and the guy said my short torso and long legs were not particularly suited to the Aeroad. Had to take him for his word as I know nothing about geo and fitting. They had a programme which selected all the bikes that were suitable. So I am now the proud owner of a Colnago V1-R, a perfect fit with the addition of a 10mm spacer.

put real wheels and fast tyres ( gp4000S2 ) instead of this outdated wheels and slow tyres
you could easily sell them for better gear
