Since a month owner of an Aeroad.
CF SLX.
Changed the sadlle (not on the photo), 140mm rotor in the back, took out 5mm spacer.
Very happy with the bike.

Found my dream frame this year - the last generation of a rim brake Ultimate SLX - perfect condition, great price. After 9 years and 94kkm on the Ultimate SL I added that X to the end and wow what a fantastic bike that is!

A brief overview:
Canyon Ultimate SLX size S rim brake
Full Dura-Ace R9100
Token C45r wheelset (45mm deep)
Third-party cockpit (100x400), EliteOne seatpost and a Chinese carbon saddle
With Conti GP5000 (25mm) and RideNow TPU tubes comes at 6,47kg (incl. bottle cages and pedals, NOT including lights and bike computer)

Pictured with Vittoria Corsa Control G2.0 tires which I'm riding right now (Massive weight penalty on them though - 285g compared to a 225g for a GP5000 so can't wait to get back to Conti's :| )

Image

And recently slammed the stem completely (and saved 12g on the bottom headset cap from the chunky Canyon one with a bolt)

Planning on changing to some good'ol tubular wheels next year.
Cheers!

I could not find any picture other than that this one but is anyone running a cockpit other than from canyon, like an EXS or Farsports to be precise? with the aero spacers/headset cover that is used with the regular canyon cockpits? I want to see the transition and how it fits, can't get 110 length or beyond in 370 or 380 width from canyon
