18:29 11 years on my 9070 Di2 groupset and not a single issue. Electronic all the shifters!
Giant Propel 105
SCOTT FOIL RC 30. 105 Di2 and the paint is a gorgeous burgundy to black gloss two tone scheme all for $4,799. I cannot condone the Orca at #2. It's tied with the Oltre for most hideous aero bike. But interesting to hear you make the case for it.
With it's democratized pricing, completely cutting out the dealer, revealing how much more bike you can get for the price, you just can't beat the value of the Canyon. Period.
Also love the Aeroad but spending big money on a modern bike with mechanical is like buying a new Mercedes thats running carburettors
Thank you for the comment on Campy!!! Undoubtedly (on Italian bikes) "it is not right" to put anything on other than Campagnolo. And frankly it is nowhere else either. And that's my biggest critique on Canyon. In Germany (where I am from) they offer Campagnolo components and here it is Shitano or Sram (which the latter I would tolerate… grudgingly). When oh when will Canyon consider us worthy to have the Campy option?
Good vid
