I just bought a new Canyon Endurace CF SL8 eTap and I've only ridden a couple of local loops on it, but I'm very impressed. It has even better ride comfort than my Giant Defy (which was quite comfy)...

I would have thought the Caledonia would be the best match from Cervelo to what you are looking to do here.

I haven't ridden a BMC endurance bike (Roadmachine I think), but pretty much every review I've read of them marks them down for being a bit of a harsh ride compared to their direct competition. To...

I wouldn’t be very happy with that! The cable guides on my Defy head tube look different to those and haven’t had that issue. On mine the cables are fixed where they enter the frame so they don’t...

Well all I can say is having owned both Giant and Specialized carbon frames, both seem to be of good quality. I get the feeling there is very little in it in terms of carbon frame quality between...

I would imagine their carbon frames are outsourced to an Asian factory. Not saying that's a bad thing, but I doubt the quality would be any better than Giant or Specialized. Giant actually make...

As you mentioned the Open UP, how about the more road focused Open MIN.D?

I have a Giant Defy Adv Pro 2 (2019 model, current frame) and can't really fault it as an endurance bike. But our local roads are bumpy enough that I think a Specialized Roubaix would be even...

I have to say I've been very happy with my Defy Pro. I picked it up new for £2k in an end of season shop sale in Dec '19, which was a total bargain for full carbon frame and wheels. Groupset is...

That was my point. Logic follows that carbon is the ideal frame material too.

Yes, that looks quite nice, although not keen on the graphics. Interesting that many modern Ti bikes have carbon forks. Seems a bit odd if Ti is supposed to be the ultimate frame material.

You mean a Ti frame looks more like an old bike? Or do you think your Giant carbon bike actually looks like something else?
I don't have a problem with Ti bikes and I do quite like the classic...

What's the big deal about a custom ti frame? I realise you can have "custom" geometry, but most people don't need that unless they are a very odd shape.

Why limit yourself to the S-Works version? The Roubaix Pro build is plenty high enough spec and more in-line with the rest of your shortlist. I do quite like the look of the Roubaix, although I...

The Krypton Pro would definitely make my shortlist for a fast endurance bike. It has some really nice details like the variable stack headtube inserts. Ticks all the key boxes for me as a GF bike. I...

+1
I ride a Defy Pro myself, but with the simple 105 groupset (2019 Adv Pro 2). It's a nice bike, very comfortable and has tons of tyre clearance. I run 32 mm tyres (Pirelli Cinturato Velo...
