Hi

I finally managed to save £2500 for a new road bike. Currently riding a 2012 Specialized Allez and been wanting an upgrade for years. As the money was being saved, I was sure I wanted a Canyon Ultimate CF SL 7 Disc, but with the recent canyon price hikes and Brexit plus the cost of delivery I just kept seeing the price going higher and higher (£2,455.98).  So I thought to have a look around to see if I could get anything better for the price and came across the Ribble Endurance SL Disc.

 

Ribble Endurance SL Disc. 105 Group set starting at £1899 which I upgraded with a Level 5 Carbon Integrated Road Bar & Stem (£300) Plus delivery (£40)= Total:  £2239.00. Wheelset: Mavic Aksium Dsc 700c Wheelset. Weight Medium 8.6 KG

Canyon Ultimate CF Sl 7 Disc: Total Cost: £2,455.98. Weight: 7.90KG. 105 Group set. Wheelset: DT Swiss P 1850 Spline db.

I am really torn between these two choices. Feel like the canyon comes with a slightly better wheelset and is lighter but the Ribble comes with the integrated carbon cockpit. Moreover, the Ribble is £216.98 cheaper.

Would really appreciate your thoughts. This bike needs to last me for the next 5 years plus.

I could also upgrade the wheelset to the Mavic Ksyrium SL 25 Disc Wheelset for an additional £450 bringing the total for the Ribble to £2689.
