Cannondale Supersix

[Keith Smith]

I bought my Supersix 105 team replica for £1,700 about 3 months ago (£1000 through the cycle to work scheme and £700 of my own cash). I had no choice but to go through Evans. Good thing is though I'll get the £1000 tax free, so it'll only cost me around £1350 in total!

I'm guessing I've done nearly 1000 miles on it so far and I can honestly say it's a fantastic bike, even with the standard Mavic Aksiom/Aksion wheel and tyre set. The 105 grouppo has performed impeccably, with fast, precise changes, and to be honest, unless you're obsessed with saving weight, I can't see any reason why you would want to upgrade to Ultegra or beyond. One thing I am planning to shell out on is a decent carbon clincher wheelset for the summer.

Go on...BUY IT!! You won't regret it!

I'm almost convinced....
Just need to arrange a test ride, I suppose. Funding is another hurdle!

to help you sd release a bike to me

I don't have anything you need! I have a Verenti Millook that's my 'long ride / hilly' bike but I am using it less and less, lately. The Cube is the main hot dog bike but it'll be replaced by the Dale, if acquired... I started putting together something from spare parts the other day and might turn it into a racing / TT machine... that's something of an experimentation, however. The Dawes is my Winter commuter and the MTB is on Cycle to work scheme. I have 2 other random frames stuffed under the stairs and at the last count something like 14 road wheels in various states

C'mon Ant....just buy the bleedin' thing.. worry about the cost another day!

 

[Sittingduck]

That's how I got myself into this mess in the first place!

If it's just a fraction as good as my CAAD10, (both use SAVE technology I believe), then it will be freakin' awesome

There you go.... it will be freakin' awesome!

I thought about going down to Evans at lunchtime and asking to take one out on a test ride. They had a 56 in there when I looked the other day. I will be trying a 56 and a 54, if I do take one. Decided against it (for Today) on account of the bad weather. I think it might be better going at a weekend and trying it in proper clothing, not work trousers tucked into socks and work shoes!

 

[ianrauk]

Looking good weather for the weekend too

 

[Sittingduck]

I can't do Saturday because I'm entered in the club hill climb comp and subsequent downhill (no pedalling allowed) comp! Sunday is a possibility but probably have to see if I can make it in the afternoon. I have next Friday off work too, so that's also a possibility.

Me want , would mean a divorce though as the wife and kids would not have any luxuries like food

 

[ianrauk]

we're not going to let you talk yourself out of it.

 

[Sittingduck]

I'll need a cast iron guarantee that it will go uphill at 20mph and cruise at 30 on the flat...
