Re: New Canyon on their website [ianpeace]

That website demands tenacity and creates frustration. I poked around a bit and found the geometry for the Speedmax CF. The images suggest that the bike detailed is not the bike that Frodo flew through the lava. It's on page 12 of the shaded brochures "bikes 2015" . The bike comes in 3 t-shirt sizes: S, M, and L.
The small has a stack of 499mm and reach of 410mm
The med has a stack of 519mm and reach of 432mm
The Lg has a stack of 539mm and reach of 437mm

Those number look to me like legit, top-of-head tube stack and reach but this bike doesn't really have a head tube so in this case we'd typically refer to "pad stack" and "pad reach" like a P5six or Speed Concept, etc. but Canyon doesn't seem to be speaking the same language. Pages 17-20 of the manual addresses the front end adjustments: stem spacers, arm pad pedestal (in addition to building the bike). I guess if a less than mechanically inclined buyer got stuck their LBS would be happy to help.

Well crap. I'm really wanting that bike, but only will order if I can be sure about the pad reach. I'm at the very far end of the specs and have to make sure it fits before I can commit. Will greatly appreciate the community figuring it out for sure when this thing hits the market.
