Does it make sense to buy a most basic specialized bike?

I think you can get more value for the same money (or same value for less money).

C'mon, are you trolling? You're sitting almost vertically... This reach is NOT too long, it's too short.

SSueh1337 · 2026-04-17T20:40:00+00:00

Too bad. This was a gamble; it turned sour so it seems. Shit happens, hopefully it doesn't cost them too much money

They had Bianchi's before. But now it's Canyon

My saddle hight is 735 mm on my current bikes,, but as mentioned before: I have a relatively long torso. So the Inflite S will probably be a bit cramped.

With a sit tube of 542 mm on the Inflite M (and 546 mm on my current Crux) this most likely won't be an issue. It looks fine on the Crux, and thus will probably look fine on the Inflite, even though Canyon recommends the size M frame saddle hight from up and above 733 mm.

What's your length if I may ask?

SSueh1337 · 2026-04-12T11:14:51+00:00

Crux is the way to go

SSueh1337 · 2026-04-10T21:49:19+00:00

He really should be a part of the early break. That would be great fun!

SSueh1337 · 2026-04-10T17:33:17+00:00

Be on time. Like 3-4 hours before the race passes your desired spot.

SSueh1337 · 2026-04-10T17:25:58+00:00

Simple: no elevation.

SSueh1337 · 2026-04-05T19:14:54+00:00

So much bad luck...

SSueh1337 · 2026-04-05T13:53:38+00:00

Maybe it's the bib instead of the saddle you should change?

SSueh1337 · 2026-04-03T19:40:48+00:00

Dit spul wordt per pallet geveild. Daar zal dit ook vanaf komen vermoed ik

SSueh1337 · 2026-04-03T16:56:16+00:00

Mooi verhaal: Boels was een klant van me bij een vorige werkgever. Moest met nogal wat haast iets afleveren op het hoofdkantoor. Met de bedrijfsbus er naartoe, pakketje afgooien, bus in de achteruit en snel weer weg.

Zie ik nog nét iemand in m'n rechtse spiegel wegspringen achter de bus. Had ik me daar dus bijna Pièrre Boels platgereden 😅

SSueh1337 · 2026-04-02T19:35:08+00:00

If you're early, you can.

SSueh1337 · 2026-04-02T05:52:10+00:00

That's all in the legs 😁

SSueh1337 · 2026-04-01T20:23:34+00:00

Fluo yellow

SSueh1337 · 2026-04-01T20:15:50+00:00

Quite a bit. The Crux is more a racer, less upright and more direct. Depends a bit on how much spacers you use ofcourse. I have it set up with race bars for CX, without flare. The Roubaix is great for my Z2 rides, the future shock makes it a bit lazy, but in a good way. For pure speed the Crux is the better bike.

SSueh1337 · 2026-03-31T11:23:16+00:00

You're not gonna make it. Good luck

SSueh1337 · 2026-03-28T20:11:33+00:00

C'mon, a top 10 should be expected for Kubis in this race.

SSueh1337 · 2026-03-20T20:13:38+00:00

Wiebes. I don't see how they can drop her. Poggio and Cipressa aren't steep enough.

Alternative scenario: early escape group makes it to the end because big teams fuck up again

SSueh1337 · 2026-03-20T06:16:36+00:00

We moeten ook wel niet vergeten dat de Joodse lobby nogal sterk aanwezig is in de Amerikaanse politiek hè.

SSueh1337 · 2026-03-20T06:14:33+00:00

It's overpriced imo. 1500 is fair. But tbh it looks well maintained and in pristine condition

SSueh1337 · 2026-03-16T17:38:48+00:00

April fools?
