So ... no decision yet. Probably a good thing that there's a supply chain shortage.

That Scott looks pretty nice, though I'd be riding around with a freaking nameplate

I've narrowed down to the Exploro or Aspero (or Calendonia. Maybe.) I think. Canyon now shows Grails as "Summer 2022" and I got word from the US distributor of Ridley that they're looking at December 2023 for Kanzos. Yikes.

On sizing, the L Exploro looks more like a M (56). The numbers on the XL are much closer to the Cervelos in a 58. Courtesy of our fine folks at 99spokes.com --


Aspero 58 is light green; Exploro L is red. Hiding behind the green is the Caledonia

Same size Aspero (58) and the Exploro is now XL. Lines up almost exactly

Looks like I'm an XL in the Exploro.


For reference, my current road bike (Fairdale Goodship) is 593/399. I like the reach and going a little taller is a good thing.


So yeah, after Spring Break I'll take a day-trip to Boulder and check the two out. Fingers crossed!
