Why CANYON Bicycles so POPULAR? Top secret by German brand / News:

[@flyingkangaroo8024]

They are very popular however their third party contract manufacturers for their frames do have at times quality control issues

You are wildly wrong on your history of the internet and online/direct bike sales. Internet use in Europe in 2001 was widespread (at least in the western/northern countries). I was using the internet myself starting in 1992, and buying various things online by 2000. Direct bike sales were fairly strong already by the year 2001. Around that time, in the US, Fuji was selling a lot of bikes.

This one made me laugh as well ... we used to play online egoshooter in 2001. The internet was well (!) established by then.
