Cannondale Supersix

[avsd]

Is this enough 'cast iron' for the guarantee

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

It looks faster than that in the showroom..

Not with me on it but with you pedalling it maybe.Supersix is a great bike.dont faff Just go for it. My next bike will very likely be a Cannondale.

Leave it too long and they will be out of stock, then you'll regret it!

I'll have to move out to afford the bike anyway. It'll need to double-up as a 1 bed flat.

Hi SittingDuck. I bought a 2011 SuperSix 105 and commute 17.5 miles each way most days - its a fab bike, sure you'll love it. Whilst really stiff and responsive, it also soaks up lots of road buzz - makes long rides very doable.

One thing to note though is that the top tube is quite long, so you may end up on a size down from your expected frame size. My 52cm is a stretch for a buddy who normally rides a 54cm for example. HTH.

 

[Sittingduck]

Cheers jgs. I had a good study of the geometry and fairly sure that a 54 or a 56 would both fit me. The 54 will be more agressive though and I would probably go with that, unless I found it too cramped. Only way to find out is a test ride!

How much of a test ride will Evans allow? Whats the arrangement,are you covered by insurance ?

A test ride in Tredz is just around the carpark,ideally I would like to do 10 miles or so taking in a variety of road surfaces etc.

I am guessing you want a higher group set but Fudges in Epsom have a Supersix with SRAM Apex for £1160 (RRP £1800 apparently)!

I have never test ridden one from Evans but I believe they will let you take it out for a little while. There's a 56 in my local branch but I think I'm going to be a 54. Need to consider the fincances seriously first.

Cheers but I want Shimano - I have SRAM on the Verenti and although it's nice and light, I prefer the smooth feeling of Shimano. SRAM just feels so plasticy and clicky, in comparison.
