No I was not there. I just saw the links here: http://www.bikebiz.com/news
And thought some WW memebers might find it interesting to watch.
Which one is you?

The video was shot by the http://www.bike-community.net admin Thomas.

I can see Christian Smolik behind the couch in the beginning of the factory tour video.

I can see Canyon has reduced prices on some models until 11th of April to celebrate the opening of the new Canyon headquaters named Canyon.Home:

Yes, that is Christian Smolik. Lutz Scheffer is also in that video pretty much all the way through.

Wow. How do they do all that with not a single picture of a scantily clad lady on the wall?

So the canyon frames are fabricated in Asia I presume.

Beautiful building indeed, but sadly merely an "assembly" facility. I was hoping to see them crafting some frames in good old Germany, but I guess that is not the case. Nonetheless, they have some nice bikes.

90% of bike frames come from Asia, so I don't see any surprise in not seeing any person "crafting some frames in good old Germany".

At least they don't seem to hide it.

Anyone know when the 08 Ultimate CF frames are getting delivered?

I am not accusing Canyon of anything, I was merely commenting on the term "factory tour" used in the description. A factory is a place where something gets manufactured and not just assembled. But hey I guess they are manufacturing dreams there.

I also think it is funny when I see the Ridley crew with their "made on Belgium" jackets. What is made in Belgium? The jackets? :-)

I didnt know about the Ridley's jackets.

Anyway Canyon is kinda famous for selling directly, so I guess the interesting (if we can call it like that) point of the tour is to see how they manage the orders and assembly/take care of their bikes/frames.
