Yes, it was Bike No. 4 of Dave's 10th Anniversary Series. Given that he's currently working on his 20th Anniversary Series, I'm finding it hard to believe I've had it for 10 years! It has WTO 33s on it now and rides better than ever.

Last gen of the rim brake Canyon Ultimate. Great handling, fast, light, fun to ride. And I’m more partial to the looks than I thought I’d be — it just needed some white bar tape and a white saddle! (With apologies for the NDS photo).

I've posted this elsewhere not too long ago, but having only seen one Spectrum on this thread I thought it would be good to add it here.

Delivered in 2019. I have zero bike lust. This bike does everything I need it to do.

Here are my road bike contributions



The speedvagen has pretty much cured my bike lust.



Both my mtbs are also rim brake and near perfect as well.

My Seven Redsky doesn't have some of the classic proportions of the beautiful bikes on this thread, but it fits me and my cycling needs perfectly. That's what counts! I know the oversized head tube is an acquired taste, but I've come to accept the look. I wasn't 100% confident in the decision to go with mid-reach brakes, but I've been completely happy with the choice. Versatile simplicity. The picture was taken when I picked up the complete bike at the sadly closed Ride Studio Cafe in Lexington, MA. (the shop has gone mobile as Ride Headquarters) I had a wonderful experience working with them.

I am very happy with this ride, a keeper.

My other rides are largely being ignored. It's been a while since I've burned through a set of tires and chain in less than a year. Just keep reaching for this one.

These brakes work very well on carbon rims.
