Good day ladies and gents.
I’m currently in the market for a new bike. I currently have a Cube Agree GTC Pro with Archytype, Pro 3's and Sapim hand builds which I use for commuting and the occasional century Sportive. It’s fantastic in every way and does everything well.
However, It’s the only road bike I have ever had and I use it for everything. I have an itch in the back of my head for some 'Sunday best' and a curiosity to what I might be missing out on....
After trawling every review I can find I have decided on the bike linked below (pending a test ride of cause).

I would prefer mechanical, but I much prefer this paint scheme!
My questions to you are these. I am a 6 ft 2 inch tall guy that can fluctuate between 88kg - 93kg. I am concerned about the light weight frames ability to take such a load and still perform the way the reviews say it does in terms of stiffness and comfort. Is this bike designed for light weight whippets only? Are there any lager proportioned owners of this frame that can vouch for the frames and Mavic SLR's ability to take my weight?
Thoughts of how the ride will differ to my current Cube Agree GTC would also be welcomed.
Thank you in advance for your feedback.

I ride a SuperSix Ultegra and am 88kg right now (and I was 91kg before xmas) and have had no problems for nearly a year. In the manual it states the maximum weight is somewhere north of 125kg or 130kg. You will be absolutely fine.x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

93kgs? you'll be fine, that's not near any frame's weight limits that I've ever heard of.
I'm 80kgs and rode a Cervelo R3SL on the 210km Roubaix sportive which really stresses a frame. Why would the Cannondale be any different? They're a large frame producer with lots of testing resources and if they had to recall a frame it would really kill their flagship product.
If you're really concerned email their customer service.The titifers have sung their song.
Now it's time for sleep.0
