Was on the Canyon Ultimate CF SLX 2015 previously, sold that frame last month. Was thinking hard between the Fuji SL and the Bianchi Specialissima (I know, price points for both frames couldn't be further off!). Ended up going with the Fuji SL as couldn't justify the much higher cost of the Specialissima (even though I love it).
First impressions are that it's crazy stupid light! I was already on a relatively light-ish Canyon but when picking up the SL it is noticeably lighter. Minor gripe I have is the raw carbon layup look of it, in order to save on overall weight I'm guessing Fuji kept the paint job to a minimal - hence the carbon layup is pretty visible throughout the entire frame. I'm sure I'll grow to love it though, seems a small tradeoff for a much lighter frame.
Will post more pics once the bike gets built.

The bare carbon looks the biz to me, really like it. I wasn't sure originally about the gold highlights but they have grown on me too, especially with a gold KMC X10SL chain. And maybe add some green bar tape to complement the gold

Gold KMC chain! That's a pretty good idea. Had been thinking of getting an all black chain from KMC initially but figured it would look weird with a standard silver cassette.
