Canyon frameset weight less 325gr than Giant frameset , but more stiffer .It is like a stone . It is very quickly pick up speed. Handling is to absolutely different . Very glad to buyed this frameset. It cost for me about 600$ or 580 Euro.

Never ever, my friend! Have you seen that saddle position??? If that is his ride position, how could you suggest a 0 offset post???
Btw, to see the Giant evolve was nice. But the Canyon is a whole lot more a race machine and more tech! In German forums, many people (enviers, in my opinion) complained about the trumpet-like downtube of the F10. I believe they simply couldn't believe the amount of tech for the bang and were looking for some justification why they had paid much more on their bikes compared to a Canyon. I always liked the brand and the design of Canyons, this one is no exception!
Two things I would change:
1) the wheels, but only for cosmetic reasons (I never liked the are-like spokes and the cut-outs in the rims), and
2) the bottle cage which looks too cheap/massive. I can recommend Tacx Tao. Depending on your budget, Arundel Mandible are an (UD) option too, and there are plenty of others from Bontrager, Elite, and so on...
