Hi,
I have a 2006 Canondale Six13 bike, which is my pride and joy. Really nice to ride and still looking amazing! The only niggle I have in my mind is the durability of the bonding between the carbon and aluminum... The top and down tubes are carbon - the rest aluminum.
As is usual with these bikes, there are few patches where the lacquer has discoloured. I have researched this and it's a common and purely cosmetic thing. I am more concerned whether the frame is structurally ok. I have not done crazy miles on it, maybe 10k miles in total. Has anyone else had any experiences with these frames (good or bad)?
