I contacted canyon on twitter and they told me some models but not all will be available in october the rest will follow.

I enquired about the AM6/7 and they said only the AM9 will be available in october.
 
In need of some commuting lights so someone please spec me some descent cheap lights for these dark times, looking at about £50 for the front light back one will just be a cheap-o flashing led.

Also maybe something I could use for night rides too if possible?

Any light that is cree XML T6 powered should do the trick to be honest! I bought mine from best offer buy and it arrived in around two or so weeks. I paid £37 by using a 10% off code I googled.

Kieran found the same light on deal extreme that had a helmet mount so that might be a better buy for off road riding.

I can't take a picture as my phone is pish but it lights unlit backroads fully...literally like a car headlight. Has to be pointed to the ground for commuting as it's so bright.
 
My new (second hand :p) 2003 Litespeed Capella is now back at my parents, and awaiting me to pick it up :D A little excited to have a play on it... It's basically going to be my commuter/fitness bike, because christ i need to work on that after my recent failed black run round Glentress! Bailed at 73 and finished the Red instead! Trying to work out what to do pedal wise, as it's commuter i'm not sure i want to rock egg beaters like my MTB, but i'm not totally sure yet...

Pretty much standard factory spec carbon fork 105's lovely litespeed frame, boom.

Probably paid a little more than i should have, but i was waiting for something a little different and i'd had my cheap-o commuter old school peugeot stolen... Still i'm happy, now on to buying a New York 3000 or Fahgettaboudit or some kind of comparable lock and decent chain solution for the rare time this ever gets locked anywhere!

I never posted this after I finished it for IOW:

I used my Flite saddle on the day because the one in the pic is a bit of a funny shape for me. Finished about halfway though the field, so that means I beat some 90 guys with gears :D

A while back someone posted a link to some pedals on here...pretty much identical to superstar nano techs but plain black and cheaper.

I cant for the life of me find them now - does anyone know the ones im on about or have a link?

Thanks
 
Got one of the new Giant Dropper seat posts on my Reign this afternoon.

Very very smooth, looks good and absolutly no side to side movement on both ones i got.

Worth every penny especially since they are considerably cheaper then other brand models...
