I should point out that, in most brands, I favour a size medium or 54cm. Canyon suggests a small will fit riders from 172 to 178cm tall (I’m 174cm), and it has 442mm of reach+ and 638mm of stack+. Based on my height and inseam, I’m apparently towards the lower end of the range for a size small. It makes a lot of sense in theory and it’s perfectly valid as a means to compare bikes within the Canyon range, but it won’t help you a great deal otherwise because it’s not widely used in the industry.Īs a dutiful bike reviewer, I decided to stick to Canyon’s sizing recommendations. To address potential confusion, Canyon adopted reach+ and stack+ when the Grail launched, a system of measurements that includes cockpit dimensions in the quoted figures. This is down to the Hover bar, which necessitates a very non-standard frame with rather unconventional reach and stack figures. Matthew Loveridge / Immediate MediaĪ quick glance at the Grail’s geometry table may be somewhat confusing because Canyon doesn’t quote standard reach and stack figures, and the top tube measurements appear very long for a given size (557mm on a small), while head tubes appear comically short (78mm on a small). The non-standard Hover bar makes normal geometry comparisons complicated. Canyon Grail CF SL geometry: this is where it gets confusing According to Canyon, SKS Bluemels ‘guards can be made to fit with slight modification. The placement of these mounts is a little unconventional however, and you may find the stays on some guards aren’t long enough.Ĭanyon does offer its own fenders although, at the time of writing, they’re out of stock. The Grail also has mounts for mudguards, a key point when making comparisons with the Endurace road range, none of which feature the necessary bosses. Unlike the cyclocross-focused Inflite, which gets a horizontal top tube for shouldering purposes, the Grail has a more compact frame with a top tube that’s gently sloped, kinking slightly to level off just before it meets the head tube. It’s a nice mixture of boxy tubes and sculpted sections, with seatstays that flow into the top tube neatly. If you need to go lower, there are 15mm of spacers you can remove below the stem.Ĭockpit aside, the Grail resembles other Canyon carbon frames.
Matthew Loveridge / Immediate Media Unusually, the default position for the cockpit is at the top of the stack of headset spacers, and you need to leave it there if you want to preserve the clean transition from top tube to stem.
DOUBLE DECKER SF MAC OS

DOUBLE DECKER SF FREE
Apple, if you’re listening, feel free to incorporate one or the other of these into San Francisco. Update: I hereby release it all into the public domain. However, I still wanted to see a more Futura-like and a more Gill-Sans-like San Francisco, and although the font is only available at the moment to Apple developers, I was able to get a copy, and I’ve made alternate glyphs.Īnd here it is again with a double-decker g:Īnd just for fun, here are SVG versions of my alternate a and alternate g, and an animated version over on tumblr.
Futura is the only one of my favorite fonts with a single-story a, and while Gill Sans, Trebuchet, Times, Palatino, Optima and American Typewriter all have both double-story as and double-decker gs (left side), Helvetica, Arial, Courier, Verdana, and Lucida Grande (right side) all have mixed double-story as with simple humanist gs.
Turns out the font world disagrees with my intuition. It’s always seemed right to me for a font to have either both, or neither, of these special letters.
But it features a double-story a without a double-decker, looptail, or eyeglass g. Apple’s new San Francisco font is going to be a vast improvement on Helvetica as a system font in iOS 9 and OS X 10.11.
