Thanks for the comment. I have nothing bad to say, it is good value for the price. The only "problem" is what I expected, the M size frame is just a bit too big for me and I need to get a shorter stem to avoid any hand issues during long-distance rides. I'm 178cm with somewhat normal body proportions. The size chart recommended both S and M sizes, so I test rode both. Those sizes have significantly different ride feeling - just to let you know if you are also between sizes try to find a place to try them before buying. Would I buy it again? Yes, I think so 🙂. Happy New Year 2025!
Great vid. Sorry to hear about your other bike. The nice thing about the AL is it has the rear rack option. Let us know how it rides when the rest of your gear comes in.
Thank you! Regarding the old bike, I got a phone call yesterday from my insurance company - the police had found the bike. Unfortunately it was too late for me as I already bought this one. I think I will be happy with Grizl when I get all the settings right. A slightly better group set and more mount points compared to Specialized Diverge E5 Base model. The M sized frame is bigger than my old Specialized (56cm) and I have a feeling I need to switch to a shorter stem to have more comfortable riding position. I test rode S size frame too, but it felt like I was riding a pony (I'm 178cm tall and got S + M size recommendation from Canyon). I look forward to the first long-distance ride with it in the coming days.
Otan osaa 😭 Minne voimme lähettää adressin 😁 Hieno väri.. melkein niinku bianchinsininen.. ja kissakin tykkäs.. tai sitten vihas.. en ole niin varma niiden sielunelämästä 😁
Kiitos! Melkein heti -toimitukseen oli tarjolla vain tämä väri joten tartuin tilaisuuteen. Seuraavana päivänä oli myös harmaa mutta päätin etten ala säätämään - onpahan hiukan edellistä värikkäämpi menopeli 😀.
@@lihisfi Odotin kommentin perusteella sinapinkeltaista tai pinkkiä, mutta tämähän oli ihan suhteellisen neutraali väri. Tervetuloa Grizlistien onnelliseen joukkoon!
Thanks for the video! How do you like the bike so far? I am eyeing the exact same bike. Would you buy it again? And - happy new year!

@@cyclinghikinglife Kiitos! Pinkki tai keltainen olis varmaan jäänyt ostamatta 🙂.
Mitä kokoa on pyörä ja kuin pitkä olet itse?
M-koko ja olen 178cm pitkä. Aion hankkia lyhemmän stemmin, muuten pyörä on tuntunut hyvältä.
