Context: I am 177cm with an inseam of ~83cm. Canyon puts me between the two sizes S and M and I opted for S due to already having a bigger sized gravelbike and wanting a more sporty bike now.
I am not educated at all in bike fitting regards and I am aware, that a bike fit might just be the thing to do… but for now:
Does the bike look like a good fit for me sizewise?
I might lower the seat a tiny bit, but it feels pretty good already.
Happy to hear what y'all think!
Cheers 😁

It looks pretty good, but yes your seat needs to drop a lot. Your knees should absolutely not be stretching.
Agreed that the saddle needs to come down significantly. It looks like you’re seated at front of the saddle too try to overcome the height.
You need to drop your seat height by about 2-3cm.
Do your shoulders feel stretched forward? Your elbows look relatively relaxed for now, but this might change after riding for a few hours. Otherwise the reach looks fine.
