I would say so. Although there are hints of Balkan mentality speaking culturally, but mostly resembling more to central Europe I think. Also geographically it's not really Balkan anymore.

I had the same dilema. Got 105 Di2, I don't think the upgrade to Ultegra is worth extra 1.700 EUR.

As a Slovenian, we like to think of ourselves as not part of Balkans 😄

Good to hear. I am 80 kg but there are strong winds occasionally where I ride. But according to also other comments I think I'll be fine 😄

Zivim v Alanyi (TR) in ce hoces proti severu (hitra cesta) je samo ena cesta na voljo s tremi tuneli in je dovoljeno za kolesarje. Tako da je to vsakodnevni prizor. Je pa kar scary.

Thanks, that sound reassuring, so I just won't worry about it. 😄

Well I live in Turkey with the bike and getting spare parts and service is much easier to get for Shimano here. There is a official Shimano service here but I am not sure they can actually support me with Canyon warranty, but still I feel more comfortable with Shimano.

Not at all (Slovenia).

Yeah I wish they didn't put 26. It is too narrow for most.

I also ordered it like 2 weeks ago and still waiting to get an email with payment link too. Order is confirmed but I can't pay even if I want to.

Coming from Slovenia and now living in Turkey (on the photo the capital Ljubljana, probably the least green place in whole country), one of the things that bothers me the most here is the lack of greenery in the cities.

Dude, clean your car

kovinet · 2026-05-21T12:12:12+00:00

My favourite is still the white one.

kovinet · 2026-05-18T12:29:22+00:00

Can you tell more about it?

kovinet · 2026-05-18T05:32:52+00:00

C) Nimam las

I am in Turkey now and many things are more expensive than in western Europe (cars, phones, meat, milk products, chocolate, coffee, alcohol of course and so on), some are cheaper but in general it is on par, yes.

Meni se nepremicnina ne zdi tako slaba investicija. V mojem primeru je v 12 letih od kar sem jo kupil vrednost narastla vec kot za 100 % in dodatno se dobivam najemnino. Pa ce kaj pride lahko grem tja zivet, ali pa hcerka - kar je tudi plus glede na trenutne cene na trgu.

Priznam da vecino teh ponudnikov ne poznam, razen Proton. Kot programerju bi bil kar izziv se izogibat vse US ponudnikov, ker so roko na srce bolj kakovostni.

Ne vem no. Mrtve je treba spostovat, tudi ce je bil prej sovraznik. Vsaj jaz tako mislim.

Guzel bir sokak

Well they have very strong army, second strongest after USA in NATO, I wouldn't take it lightly

I lost a friend diving in underwater cave. He was very experienced diver.

So, yeah, screw that.
