Hi folks. First post here.
I'm very tempted by the E-180. I currently ride a size medium canyon spectral and being 5'10" with 30" inside leg the standover is fine but it is a bit short in reach. It's great as a trail bike though and very nimble. I'm leaning towards the E-180 as I ride a lot of choppy downhill tracks (triscombe and South Wales off piste) which although my spectral can manage, the E-180 would be better at and getting back to the top would be much quicker!
First problem is sizing. Not being able to throw a leg over one I'm unsure if I should go large or medium. I like the idea of a larger frame for stability and the medium spectral will be kept for the trail stuff. But will I actually fit on one?
Second is availability. Haven't found anywhere that has one that also will do part cash part 0% finance as the one place that says they will have one won't do the finance. Any tips? I'm in Bristol but willing to travel.
Cheers, Pete
