Is frame cracking a problem?

The Canyon website has a user review that mentions this problem.
It's a personal choice, but I'd avoid any bike with the brake hose/cable routing like the Canyon Ultimate CFR. It's supposed to be an aerodynamic race bike so I guess you'd want all the cables and hoses woven through the handlebars and frame. I'd just hate to do any maintenance on it.
Also, I'd avoid a bike with that handlebar/stem situation. You can't change or adjust the handlebars or stem since it's all one piece. If you spend that kind of money and it doesn't feel right...well, I guess you'll get used to it. Maybe that's just the way it goes in the road racing world.

The stack height and width are easily adjustable. Internal cable routing is standard and not tricky at all.
