Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.

I actually kind of like it, they make a statement that's for sure. More interesting than doing the exact same thing as everyone else is doing.
There are a lot of times people call a bike or something about a bike ugly, and it's a bit of an exaggeration (disc brakes, for example - not ugly, just maybe not sometimes the cleanest look).
The side view of these Canyons however....... wow.
I can only assume this is very much function over form, in which case the function will have to be exceptional to make up for the form.
..nah, it's always just an opinion - and almost always wrong according to half the internet....
