Background. Riding enthusiast for over 20 years. Had your standard crap bikes, and finally something I felt was good. A 2020 giant fast road sl2. I love it. It’s not going anywhere
Got Covid, couldn’t ride for a long time, so I needed a boost. Got an Aventon aventure. Same story with that
I now have gone into clip in pedals and I want something more drop bar and zoomy. My budget is flexible, but I don’t wanna exceed 4k. I don’t intend on super long rides often but I don’t necessarily care as much about value as much I enjoy the premium experience when I am riding.
The caveat for me is the frame color cannot be boring. Nothing white,black, or silver. Above is sort of what I landed on, but why is it basically entirely out of stock as a 2024? Will it restock? Am I better off getting something used? Wanna open a general discussion comparing this to trek domane as well

TLDR: when will this bike be restocked if ever, and how does it compare to the trek domane of similar price and spec
Anything from the big guns will be similarly spec’d.
For a confident buyer and competent owner, Canyon cannot be beat. Their color choices are lacking compared to other brands, however.
With $4k, you might be able to snag something carbon with mechanical 105 from Ribble and add their custom paint service.
I think Orbea and BMC have some nice stock colors. No idea what inventory looks like.
