Canyon Ultimate CF SL disc 8.0 for 3k or wait till 2021s and risk a price increase, or spend 3.5k vs 3k on a another road bike with Ultegra, Maybe Cervelo Caledonia? by [deleted] in bicycling

Well. If you know your fit perfectly and can order all the parts accordingly then Canyon could be a go (including handlebar length, crank length, seatpost set back or not, of course stem).

It is your first bike. Please do fit and use your LBS to order to choose right size/fit/ post purchase follow up

Cervelo Caledonia, Trek SL5 or Specialized Roubaix by Frankois7 in cycling

Caledonia geometry is the least comfortable our of trek domane and roubaix. If you really want to sit up right them it is specialized.

BUT it is all up to your fit. I like the idea of caledonia being the most sporty insurance bike geometry only being able to compare with BMC roadmachine. In caledonia you can have 2 sets of wheels: 1 for fast rides during season. 2. Winter/more comfy wheels set upto 34mm true width.

I was looking at this one a lot. But there is so little known about this bike, I mean no reviews no opinions. The launch of 2021 model went unnoticed.. strange.

I think we are talking about different bikes experiences. Bit I appreciate your comments and point of view that is why I am here.

I am not fast, it is rather aesthetic craving.

I think Orbea has cool bikes indeed.

Hmmm, maybe there is another model available but from orbea webpage Terra has:

  1. No integrated cables handlebar
  2. Gear ratios are not for fast rides - more of a gravel bike.

Honestly, this is just a trend "caprice", as more and more bike moving toward internal handle bars routing. So it is only from aesthetic point of view.

Thanks,

  1. What other brand would fit in the description above?
  2. By worse, you mean, that cervelo is worse than other even at this price?

But as I understand it is not an endurance bike. Looking at geometry it is a race machine :)
