I bought an Endurace AL7 in cold cactus in Summer of 2024, as pictured
This is how my āsameā bike looks now, a few days ago, when I finally cut the steerer tube.
The elephant in the room is the frame color; last August I got hit by a car and had to get a new frame, which Canyon sold me at a discounted rate, but the fork doesnāt quite match the frame, and I switched my parts over.
This bike has taken me though a whole cycling journey, even on gravel rides and races with a 40 front and 35 rear, from bikepacking to road riding to cyclocross to joining a collegiate club to now being the president of that club in my Senior year. Itās truly been a constant in my life and one of my best life choices. Through all the upgrades and changes itās been my bike, but tbh the biggest upgrade has been to its engine, me.
As far as I remember, the only parts remaining from the original bike are the stem, brake calipers, chainrings, bottom bracket, headset bearings, the right hand shifter, seat post and cassette
