Still waiting for the right seatpost clamp. Then the saddle will be black (Selle Italia SLR).

Hmm somebody at Instagram told me about Selle San Marco. So I found this saddle:

Anyone some experiences with this saddle (compared to Selle Italia SLR Kit Cabonio)? And how is the red color?

Anybody who rides Canyon Endurace? May I know if your stock brake cables are Jagwire or Shimano? Mine is Jagwire, but I shipped back the bike due to a paint chip. Then the replacement bike has Shimano brake cables which are not as smooth as the Jagwire.

Seriously close to ordering an Ultimate SLX 8 Di2 in Medium. Either this or a SSE Hi-mod. My only concern with the Canyon is the amount of toe overlap, as the chain stay to WB ratio is quite high. Not saying it is, but the figures highlight a risk. For anyone who rides a medium and wears size Eu 46 shoes, is toe overlap such that it would a risk? I like to track-stand at lights, so obviously don't want to drop the new bike on the asphalt.

Speaking of saddle clamps, does anybody have a spare Aeroad 7x9 seat clamp? Happy to pay cost price!

I have an medium Endurace CFSLX (415mm stays, 991mm WB) and get toe overlap. It is the first bike I have had with overlap but hasn't proven to be much of an issue. Size 43 shoes BTW

Here's mine after training, finally cut the steerer :)

Oh and changed the fork rake from agile to stable, best thing ever.

Is the default fork fake "stable" or "agile?"

Tks Mario. I ask cos I found my previous aeroad (2015) slightly twitchy but only realised there is 2 modes after I sold it.

The disc aeroad looks interesting.

How do you change the fork rake (offset)? Are there two front axle positions or do you have a choice of forks when you buy it?

That's a shame! I'm a track sprinter and I can say that on agile this bike is as twitchy as my track bike, which I like but not on a road bike.
