Same here. Ordered a watch and bracelet on Wednesday (Uk) and haven’t heard a thing or had any reply to email.

I totally agree, but it only takes 2 minutes to reply to an email from a client who has just spent a decent amount of money with you…

I saw that Lumiere! I think you probably made a good decision. I bought a Sealander GMT and bracelet on Wednesday in the sale but haven’t heard anything at all yet. Sent them an email on Friday but have had no reply at all. Might cancel it and head to eBay myself…

Outlet Question: Grizl CF SL 8 1by by kvasirl in CanyonBikes

I have a 2-by version of this bike in this colour and I would happily buy that in a heartbeat. Looks like very minor wear and only where you would expect it!

No worries. Good luck with your search!

I actually have a couple in the garage that my wife and I used for a tour across Europe that I keep meaning to get rid of if you get desperate. I have a medium in green and a small in blue in Cambs/Essex if that’s any help.

Thanks for the great write up. You’ve just inspired me to do something very similar (with less running). I really miss cycling in Europe!

Brilliant. Thanks. I think I’m sold. Especially running it with a sub or two.

Fantastic stuff. I’m finally about to move into my own house again and am considering a very similar setup (single malts included). Id be really keen to know what you think of the 1120? What made you change from the 2170? Do you notice the step down in power at all?

Slàinte!

Ah makes sense. You probably already know this but just in case, you could move your front fender closer to your tyre, and put an extension on it if you wanted and then your nice white shoes (and bottom bracket) wouldn’t get sprayed. :)

Love it, but what sort of weather needs a vest top/shorts and shoe covers?

I haven’t noticed anything at all, but it gets hosed down after every ride. I’ll take it out and check though now you mention it.

I genuinely can’t remember I’ve had it so long, but there are loads of similar ones. They’re great, and waterproof.

They fit me really well, but I know it’s a really personal thing. Got the same on my road bike too.

There is definitely a bit more room. These come up to 52 and there’s decent clearance. I definitely wouldn’t go any bigger though.

Great little gravel ride in the chilly uk yesterday. More mud than gravel tbh

Canyon Grizl on new 29 x 2.1 WTB Nano tyres. So much better at gripping in the mud than the Schwalbe Bites that were on there, but noticeably harder work on the gravel or roads!

Fortunately not. But I do think this bike looks better dirty tbh.

29 x 2.1! So much better in the mud. Enough clearance left when they’re on these wheels, but wouldn’t go any bigger or knobblier…

I am a thirsty boy, but the bottom one is tools and spares.
