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.”

“My god, a lot of low ballers here. Someone said that’s a 1000$ bike. Hahahahahaha. Anyway, that’s close to 2k$ value. Regardless if it’s “old”, it’s still a modern frame, S-Works at that and it has Di2. ”

“This is a bike from the mid late 2000s, hard to say exactly which year. Even as an S-Works, this is an old ass triathlon bike and is worth nowhere near $1200. Seller must have a great dealer. I concur with the other poster, around $300 is probably reasonable.”
