I never thought of the benefit of the Beta in offering that flexibility

Nick pointed that out to me when we first set up the bikes. It's pretty nifty and will work with pretty much any saddle if you slide the beta carrier out, but with my tiny Dash saddle it tucks up nicely as is.

My dimond and cube

Dan

Let’s see your bike(s)

Thanks

Nice rig!
What’s the orange layer on the pads?

Wow. Cube is the best looking double-diamond, in my opinion. Dimond is the best looking non-traditional. Congrats on owning both.

That cube in all black is a dream...

Never really liked the Premier Tactical solely because of the look...….this makes me totally rethink that. Can't put my finger on what it is about this Bike/Photo, but man I kinda want one now. Nice job!

Very clean look. Nice!

Thanks! I gotta agree and that’s why I kept the Dimond even after I got the Cube Aerium. Now just need an Omni. Hehehe

Thank you

Not as "matchy, matchy" as I hoped. But very happy with how it turned out using FB and Ebay for used parts.

Thanks. Now I just need to paint the draft box all black (remove the gray) so it matches properly when I race long course and am out on training rides.

see the thread just launched today on how to upload a picture.

Thank you. I am not a fan of the paint/graphics options But finding that Canyon special edition super 9 disc in the classifieds gave this thing the pop of color that I think makes it work.

From a design standpoint the thought that was put into the integration and internal wiring of this bike from front end on back is phenomenal at its price point including the ceramic big wheel and optimum chain. I’m not a fan of BTA or BTS hydration systems personally so that’s why the traditional cage setups for me.

Now if I can get recovered from just having replaced my L5/S1 disc and get back out training I will be racing this fall in Cozumel (minus the disc wheel)

No frills, just a basic bike.

Subtlety in matching >>> over the top matchy matchy IMO. Looks great.

which one of those do you like better? will you tend to race most of the time?
