Best praise vs top criticism for Canyon Endurace Allroad

Best Praise
+4 pts
“The best buy in a new bike at that price point in the UK is that new Canyon Endurace all road model. Priced right at a thousand quid, it's an aluminum frame, with enough clearance for 38, maybe 40 mm tires, and a full Shimano road Cues groupset with hydraulic brakes. 10 speed, with an 11-39 tooth cassette.”

“Warten lohnt sich nicht, ich hab mein Allroad am 30.07 bestellt, und bis heute ist nichts angekommen. Lieferzeitraum ist 15-26.09. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist hoch, dass du das Bike dieses Jahr nicht mehr bekommst.”

“Of these the the first one. The Giant Contend. You’re definitely not gonna be a size 56 or 58. Price seems within reason. Maybe you could get if for a couple hundred less. Or maybe you could flip it for a profit with a little patience. Totally depends on your market and condition.”

“Go for the felt, yes it's worth 900 imo. The giant is quite old and the bar tape needs doing. 8 speed 105 was a while ago, the technology is a lot better now.”
