A strong 7
I am in the market for a new road bike, and the Canyon Endurace has shown up on my radar. Geometry is pretty spot on for me, and I was speaking with someone this past weekend who absolutely loves his. On line reviews have been very positive, too.
Before we go down the rabbit hole of supporting LBS vs. DTC, I do support my LBS and I am not really a fan of the brands they carry. I could drive a distance to purchase from another shop, but I would be bringing it to my LBS for service anyway.
So the questions are: Does anyone have experience with Canyon bikes? What are your thoughts on the relative value of these 2 builds? Any recommendations for comparable builds? Frame is the same on each bike.
