A more expensive option, the same model as mine.
If you go that route, you won't regret any second on it :D
Well... the Carbonda either.

!! BREAKING NEWS !!  ;)

My Canyon ultimate frame cracked for a second time...
The first time it was at the front derailleur fixture, and Canyon replaced it under warranty in April.
I got a Di2 compatible frame with many useless holes for a Red eTap, but ok.

I was cleaning my bike to prepare it for a mad 400+km ride this weekend.
And saw a crack on the inside of the drive-side seatstay  >:(

I went to Canyon to get their advice. And after a quick first look, they think it is an impact  :'(
But they can scan it to be sure. It just lasts 3-4 months  :o
Not sure what options will be available if they conclude it is an impact.

So for my ride, I quickly transformed my Carbonda into a road bike.



And wow... it was... great !
The triangle saddle, BB, bar is exactly the same as the Ultimate, and it is as light.

The Canyon was my first branded bike, and for big money, and it is the one who gave me most problems of all:
Cracks.
An aero-bar incompatible with most accessories( Wahoo, lights, bags ).
An impossible to adjust front derailleur, from day one( twice returned, and still not working properly ), while on the Carbonda it was instantly done.

So if you ask me now, I would buy 4 or 5 Carbonda frames instead of a branded one.

Rone69:
It is very nice, thank you again.

325racer:
How is the stiffness between the Canyon and Carbonda?

carbonazza:
I can't notice any difference. They are both as stiff.
