Cannondale Supersix 105 2012

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

Love the Liquagas Replicas! - Was looking for one of these earlier this year... unfortunately, as most were in the Sale no shops would allow me to get on on the cycle scheme so, I got a Bianchi from my LBS instead.

A beautiful bike! Great choice

It's Evo Black with Sisl 2 chainset and 9000 groupset and C24 wheels. Pretty light for a 58cm based build.

What a beaut. How does she ride and did you get a chance to compare with the standard mod frames before deciding on the Hi Mod frame?

Please don't all shoot me at once but does having a carbon bike not make you worry if you we're to get into an accident. The stuff is strong in the way it's needed to be strong but pressure in the wrong direction makes it shatter.
I've always thought, you crash on a metal bike and you got a bent bike but normally you can ride it home to sort it out. You crash a carbon bike and you got 1000 pieces of a bike all over the road.
I may be being ignorant here so please tell me if I am. I'm not to up to speed on the tech at the mo.

Carbon is much more fragile than aluminium or steel in a crash.

AndyRob,

Only finished it on Friday, so hasn't been on the road yet. Chose it on the basis on the (lack of) colour scheme. Really liked the very understated look of the frame. So didn't get to compare it to any other Supersix models.

Nice but I'd need a set of steps to get on that :shock:

Carbon unsafe? Shattering in crashes......really!
