Looks nice, black saddle will finish it off a treat. If your back can take it you could make it look meaner by lowering/slamming the stem.

Cheers pal, I think once I've had a proper bike fit ill see if I can get away with it, I shouldn't see why not I'm only in my mid twenties!! :P

Rather good bikes those are IMO.

GRicha

I much preferred the 2012 model over the 2013 one

Parked up on a hill so a bit winky wonky. Excuse the bottles, too! You get the idea though

I do like your Liquigas scheme

Here's mine. Excuse the poor quality iPhone pic, which kind of makes my front wheel look elliptical! I must get some descent pics in proper daylight.

Some nice SuperSixes on this thread. Love them!

It looks better with the stem slammed~

Some lovely S6's on show ... Here's my effort, tarted up a little from stock spec ...

GRicha

Loving that! I think my stems gonna get slammed!! :P

Crankbrother

I have 5mm spacers both top and bottom of the stem ... to allow some room for manoeuvre ...

I'd suggest going with 20mm of spacers and maybe set up with 10mm top and bottom of stem as an initial set up ... That way you have room for manoeuvre (either for you or resale) ... Just use 4x5mm spacers to allow as many set up options as possible ...

I also chose a saddle to compliment my flexibility for the drop/reach ... I'm a short arse so the drop isn't big for me at all even with an almost slammed stem (50cm frame size) ...

I've also got an Easton EC90 setback seatpost on my Supersix. How do you find the EC 90 stem and carbon bars ?

Hi Sir. Both are stiff enough to complement the frameset. Am satisfied with the Easton EC90 cockpit.

Crankbrother : Youv'e got a lovely Super 6 as well Sir. 8)

The only thing I've struggled with is the bung in the steerer tube, do I keep it where it is or drop it down to where the stem will be tightened? Hope you understand what I mean!

The headset/steerer bung will need to be lowered in conjunction with the stem ... Use a 5mm allen key to adjust that then a 6mm for the top cap ... It is a pain in the bum until it's explained to you, especially as I got my LBS to cut the steerer and shorten cables etc. first time round and i wasn't aware of the tapered headset nuances when I tweaked the set up ... I eventually got a 2nd cut once I was sure of the set up ...

Typing that made me nostalgic for my Six13 ... Only saw the LBS after 6 years ...
