My wife surprised me last week…I didn’t get promoted at work and had been kind of down for a while (thanks depression, you’re the best!) and was wistfully looking at the canyon site and saw the labor day sale. My wife comes in my office and sees me looking at an aeroad and asked “was that the bike you were gonna get if you got promoted? (side note, money’s a bit tight for me atm, so without a promotion, no bike) To which I reply “yes, but I’ll have to wait a while til’ I can afford it”…That’s when she showed me a gofundme page, and excitedly asked “what if I told you, you could?” and there it was, 50+ of members of our families and friend groups all donated and raised the funds for a brand new DREAM BIKE for me. Needless to say, this was a complete surprise and made for easily one of the greatest birthdays ever. Glad to join the Canyon Club!

Which model/color? The gray ones all look so alike and this picture makes this colorway look awesome.

congrats man! you are surely doing something right to have this beautiful group of family and friend. be very proud! and don’t be too hard on yourself and let the no promotion thing distract you from doing your best. regroup and shift it into a success in the near future 🙂
i felt i need to post this, as i was in your position early this year (not promoted even though i anticipated i would be) and so far it really worked out for the better.
