Pininfarina is not what it used to be (nowadays is just a brand name sold to someone somewhere) but the frame looks nice. Like the horizontal top tube.

Yes, if you forget about the stupid cable routing for the EPS wires on the top of the top tube instead of the side :? . Would have been so much nicer if those wired entered the frame at the same place as the brake cables!

the routing on the Canyon Aeroad SLX should be the standard. Brake cable and shift wire enter the same place.

Personally, i find it completely offputting to have a bike/car company collaboration, and to have the car company logo appear on the bike frame.

You may know them for automotive design, but Pininfarina has been designing things that "go" on rail, water, air and land across a broad swath of sectors for decades. I agree with you on the auto partnership comment, but this collabo does not seem as offsetting as say something direct with Lambo or Ferrari from that perspective.

İt is not about a car company but about a design studio.
