I'm thinking of getting one of these. Does anyone have one to comment on? Or a similar Grand Canyon 29er?
I know they are light and have a good spec. Anyone got any other options for similar money?
Hi Swoosh
I currently have an (extensively upgraded) Canyon Grand Canyon AL 9.9 up for sale at £795. Absolutely brilliant bike but circumstances mean I am reducing down from 3 bikes to one. Drop me an email if you are interested or want any more info. Mine has been ridden in the Peak District and is a great', and very quick bike that can handle pretty much anything.
As a Strive owner the bike will undoubtedly be a great ride but you need to think carefully about how you will feel when there is a problem with the bike. I have a carbon model which was £4k and has started turning white on the downtube. It is water getting under the laquer. It was sent back for warranty and they said i must have washed it to much and refused to replace it. I'm currently taking them to the small claims court. So my advice is buy from a different company and save yourself a lot of hassle.
The Al 6.9 is good value, not that keen on the triple, big wait times on that one. The boardman Pro 29er is definitely worth a look, probably even pick that up a bit cheaper with various halfords discounts when they pop up, arguably better spec

I've got a boardman FS pro, one of the first generation type, and have been very happy with it. The boardman will have to go to make was for the hard tail 29er I buy.
I've got one, few years old now...used it as my work commute bike and no complaints. It done everything I needed it to do. Its now sitting in pieces as I've gone back to a short travel fs and just swapped the components over.
I'm currently taking them to the small claims court.
Out of interest, how does that work? Surely the sale was done in Germany so you'd need to go to a German court?
