When I bought the Canyon back in 2020, I was specifically looking for a modern CF bike with disc brakes, a lot of gears, and a semi-compact crankset. I almost went for the Ultegra version, but it was hundreds more and everything I read or saw about 105 vs mechanical Ultegra said 105 was so close you might not notice any difference.

I don't have 11 bikes, so there is that.
Neither do I! 11 bikes would be madness. I only have 10. Completely different!
