Geo on 2013 Supersix - have I got it right?

[400bhp]

Looking to buy the wife a bike. We've had it on goood faith that a 51cm Cannondale Supersix Evo women's is about right.

Here's the geometry:

I spotted a bit of a bargain on a Supersix105. I assumed that the geometry would be same so I discounted the bike as they only had a 49cm one. However, on closer inspection of the Supersix105 I think the geometry might be suitable. Here it is:

The measured size is the same (46cm), the top tube is marginally shorter (51.5 v 52.3), reach is pretty similar too.

The stand over height seems to be in the right ball park for her (74cm and she is 78cm).

Thoughts?

The 2013 synapses are a little bigger than advertised, I ride a 54, when I'd be a 56 in other bikes.
Unsure if the coming up bigger rule applies across the range, but it would infer that the 49 would prob be alright.

Cannondale do come up big, I am 6 foot dead and ride a 56 on a 2012 Supersix, (and a 56 on my Synapse as well).

Can,t remember what one, but the CAAD8 or CAAD 10 are vary similar to the Supersix (CAAD 8 i think) so it might be worth comparing and maybe sitting on a CAAD (whatever) to see.

Other than that, the Supersix is fantasticaly brilliant.

Thanks for all the replies - just need to have a sit down with the other half and choose between two 51 cm Cannondales I have sourced.

What 2, or are they both supersix 105 ?

These two:

Cannondale Supersix Tiagra

Or Cannondale CAAD10 Ultegra

Bear in mind I have a set of spare Mavic Ksyriums I can put on either bike.

The CAAD 10 frame is a seriously good frame, the looks and Ultegra over Tiagra would mean it would be my choice.

I love the FSA crankset on it
