Ian, hope you're still doing the fit assistance thing... According to the Canyon fit tool, I'm a medium... But it looks like I'm right on the border of medium/large. With availability being very limited, I'm wondering if I would fit either a medium or large with "room to move" as you mentioned in a previous response.
My retul numbers are below, but I should mention these numbers were femerateion a bike I already owned. Of note, we had the reach pretty much maxed out. I guess I could've gotten a longer stem, but thinking back that was actually never mentioned by my fitter. So, when I say room to move I am mainly concerned about being able to length out the torso a bit.
I'd appreciate any guidance so I can jump on the appropriate size when they become available in the States.
Seat hight: 796mm (BB to center of seat profile)
Armpad stack: 679mm (BB vertical to top of armpad)
Armpad reach: 500mm (tip of saddle to back of armpad)
I guess that would be good to know. I'm looking at either at CFR or SLX. I sent you a DM with my full fit sheet. Thanks!
Another edit...
I looked more closely at my fit sheet and I gave you tip of saddle to back if armpad for reach. I also looked at the CFR geometry specs and it lists a range for reach (BB to back of armpad). That number for me is 475mm. I think I could go a bit longer for some added comfort.
Geometry specs are not my wheelhouse, but I think that puts me in a large as the medium range appears to be 408-463mm. (Unless there's something that can be done with stems.)
My gut is telling me L, but the fit recommender for canyon says M so it has me nervous about that.

m-reese,
Yeah, the medium could meet you at your 679/475 but it would take a lot of doing (long stem and nearly all of the spacers). Get a size Large in the CFR/SLX (same bike interms of geometry and set up). You'll want the mid spacer, short stem, and medium extensions. You will be able to go a touch longer in cockpit with the short stem but..after some time on the bike.. if you want even more length and you live in the USA I would suggest getting this thing from
Rad Sport. It'll give you more length and a bit more tilt.
