Uggg, I’m not a fan of Clarkes, either. It’s a fraught path, trying to avoid SRAM drivetrains, non-brand and 2 piston brakes, virtually every brand of cheap hub, 66 degree or higher head angles…etc. etc. The extra 20% import duty on Canyon products is a hard one to explain to friends looking at this end of the market as well.
I usually find the upgrade at purchase path ends up with someone owning a bunch of terrible parts to keep in a box and a 10 point discount on something a little more high end than necessary, because that’s what was in stock. Budgeting for a Code upgrade is usually a good reason to step up to the next model!
Apologies if you’ve been asked this already, but will this Roscoe be getting an angleset?
