Good day,

You have a beautiful and clean / minimalist Ultimate.
I am gonna get a frame set from Canyon too as they don't offer ETAP with rim brake option in the 2018 line up.

I am 5"11 with 83.5 inseam. You think a M gonna work ?
Also, what maker's bottom bracket did you use ? sram pressfit gxp for bbb86 ?

Also, let me know what else to look out for during the build.
Thanks !

Parts list is easy:
2016 Ultimate CF SLX Frame Size S
H36 Aerocockpit length: 100 mm, width: 410 mm
SRAM Red eTap 50/34, 11/28
Zipp 404 Clincher
Continental GP 4000 S II
Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbonio

The weight is 6.900 kg - the Zipps are quite heavy.

What do you think about it?

I am 85 cm inseam and I ride M. If I were you I would choose size small. I have installed PF GXP BB86 on my SLX. I would recommend you to use the Canyon size calculator on their website though.

How do you like your aeroad compared to the ultimate? Are the aero advantages worth it in your opinion? I’m considering aeroad, ultimate or giant tcr - for climbing and flattish rides.
Thanks

The Aeroad is a little bit "harder" i would say but you can climb very well with it, too. On the other hand the Ultimate saves some kgs - so if you are a real weenie you should take the Ultimate.
