Made a few changes to the fleet over the past year and have ended up with (almost) a clean sweep of Cannondales. I also had a CAAD10 earlier in the year, but it was sold to make room for the evo.
1. Cannondale Slice Hi-Mod SRAM Red
Planet X wheels are temporary and will be on the lookout for a decent disc over the winter
2. Cannondale Supersix Evo Hi-Mod
Full ultegra with Reynolds Assault wheelset
3. Cannondale Synapse Carbon Ultegra
Fitted with Pacenti Sl23 rims and Chris King R45 mango hubs.
This is the mile muncher and will hopefully be upgraded to DI2 over the winter with the removed ultegra parts moved to the alloy synapse
4. Cannondale Synapse (alloy)
Currently running 10 speed tiagra but hopefully will be upgraded over the winter.
It will be using the wheels from the Beone which are Archetype rims with Ultegra hubs
5. Beone Racing Blue
The black sheep of the family my first carbon bike so unlikely to ever be sold due to sentimental reasons! Usually fitted with kysrium elites and is my wet weather bike or winter training bike when I want something a bit more lively.
Thanks for looking

Very nice! I like the Supersix and the blue one best.
Where in the world do you find the time to ride 5 different bikes???0 -

It is a bit of the old N+1
In fairness 3 of them get ridden during the summer months and the other 2 two during winter.0 -
I like the blue one, bet its the only one that doesn't have a creaky bb.0

The Beone is the only one with a creaky bracket at the moment!
The 'dales, with the exception of the slice are running adaptors (rotor and c-bear) as I needed shimano chainsets for stages. But prior to that, I didn't have any issues at all with BB300 -
Very nice. I like the Evo. Great paint 8)
I have a couple of Dales and have never had any problems with the BB30s.tick - tick - tick0 -
Nice fleet
What are the reynolds assault wheels like to ride? I'm looking at an wheel set upgrade myself so interested in your thoughts. Cheers! 0 -
Nice. I have a couple of dales too:
CAAD10 105 with fulcrum racing 3's, raceblade XLs, all season tyres and good lights for winter duties
SuperSix Evo ultegra di2 with racing zeros for summer and fairweather duties.
They both have similar saddes, so I like that I can set them up to fit almost identically.
They both also have mounts for computer and lights, so I can just swith the garmin and lights over, check the tyres and I can enjoy the "good" bike when the weather permits.0 -

I've been very happy with the assaults and raced on them all season. I spent quite a while last winter trying to decide what to go for (chinese carbon up to zipps) and the reynolds were a good compromise on price/performance at the price I got them for. I was worried about braking in the wet (a necessary consideration in this part of the world) and whilst they aren't as good as the alloy rims, they weren't too far behind once you get the technique. I've also had no issues with brake squeal using the Reynolds cyro blue pads.
At 40mm profile I haven't really been bothered with cross winds which was another worry. They spin up quickly and seem to hold speed well and haven't felt heavy when climbing compared to my pacenti's.
Are they worth the money? I don't know.
Do I enjoy using them? Definitely yes0 -

That was my thoughts on the synapses. Most of my miles are done on these bikes and they are set up very similar so there is no real transition between bikes0 -
Quick Question for you. Would the Pacenti wheelset off the synapse run okay on the Evo fitted with 25c tyres.
I ve got an Evo six which I run with Ksyrium Equipes in the Winter and PX CT45 Tubs in the Summer.
I ve built up a ribble audax for a winter trainer/ commuter but it will only take 23c tyres and the Equipes have gone on this.
I was going to treat the Evo to superstar Icon Pacentis but was worried about clearances. As the superstars are mail order only , I cant really suck it and see first.0 -

I have fitted the pacenti's to the evo (with 25mm schwable one tubeless tyres) and whilst clearance is tight, it is fine.0 -

I really like the Beone, I can see why you kept it.
If you were to put 'Storck Visioner C' transfers on it people would be raving about it.

Exactly the set up I was looking for Thanks for the Info.0 -
Right. Supersix standard Evo then. 105 build. £999. Someone tell me why that isn't a great deal before I press click.My blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)

Sure I ve seen £799 , Wheelbase? but then again I ve been out since lunch time toasting a triple aka of Liverpool. Arsenal and The Kiwis coming in, so I could probably cover the £799 but not remember it. 0 -

Can't see one on there. But, is the Ultegra better value? I'm not sure necessarily that Fulcrum Sport are better than RS11.

It's a fantastic deal. Get it bought0 -
Pauls have the same deal as well with other sizes available. £999 for the 105 or £1299 for the ultrgra...
You can also get a SuperSix carbon racing edition with SRAM force for £1350 or a 2015 SRAM rival equipped for £1050...
All are amazing deals.... It may come down to your preferred colour scheme..0 -

Yup!
Coincidently picked up a C'dale slice today to stick those wheels on. I'll get her posted over the weekend0 -

Good man. Looking forward to seeing the pictures0 -
Great stuff these Dales. Would have probably chosen a Synapse as well, had I not gone for the Spec Diverge in the first place. Incidentally, does anyone happen to own one of the new Slates? I'm interested to see what people think of their onesided forks. Interesting concept, though I'm not sure about the looks. Specialized Diverge Elite
Felt F85

Nice collection!
I've Just bought my third Cannondale, will maybe make a thread with them all once I get it built up later in the year. Not quite as high calibre as your selection though. I would love to add an Evo hi-mod to my collection
I'd definitely spend the extra on the ultegra model from pauls - makes sense for the hollowgram si crankset alone!0 -
Few updated pictures as there have been a few wheel and finishing kit changes plus the addition of a CAAD12 to the family.
