In my opinion, the overall finishing would be perfect without wheel decals or with wheel decals in the same turquise color. (get this bottle cage in matt black to get rid of the white)

Much better :-)

Can you also put the chain on the big ring with your Photoshop skills?

it's a new color option so you probably won't find any pictures just yet

Certainly looks good from Canyon's pics though :thumbup:
Kind of similar to the AG2R Factors

Anyone know a way to get around the country related pricing?
An Endurace frameset at 1160 dollars in Singapore seems a lot more interesting than one in Germany at 1300 euro (1550 dollars).
At that price one could get it shipped in and still make a profit...

The Germany price includes local taxes, the Singapore price does not, hence the difference in pricing. Note that you still have to pay duty on the import of the frame in to Singapore, so it may not work out all that different in the end.

Makes sense. Shame though. Would've been tempting over the Chinese carbon alternative.

For Singapore, on top of the bike price we need to pay for the bike box + delivery charges + local tax (GST) + bank (visa/master) charges + local land transport charges (FedEx).
