Matthew Allen / Immediate Media Canyon’s finishing kit is understated but nicely finished Matthew Allen / Immediate Media Carbon post? Check. Branded saddle? Check Matthew Allen / Immediate Media Contintental GP4000S IIs are always a welcome sight Matthew Allen / Immediate Media Even with 28mm tyres, there’s lots of room at both ends Matthew Allen / Immediate Media No rim brake means no brake bridge at the back Matthew Allen / Immediate Media DT Swiss hubs are about as dependable as they come Matthew Allen / Immediate Media Canyon hasn’t fitted mudguard mounts — again Matthew Allen / Immediate Media Just in case you’ve forgotten, the reach and stack figures are printed on the frame Matthew Allen / Immediate Media The black finish wouldn’t be my first choice, but it’s very nicely done Matthew Allen / Immediate Media The blue version of the Canyon Endurace AL Disc 6.0 is downright pretty Canyon
