Supersix Evo Ultegra

No tools in the office to remove the dork disc. Stickers all removed. Bloody reflectors off.

Never getting used in the wet (deliberately) so into the attic for a couple of weeks.

Looks very nice, good choice.

It's both classy, and in-your-face at the same time. I like it.

Congratulations and that's a lovely looking bike. Enjoy in good health.

I don't want to pee on your parade but 'a couple of weeks' - dream on. Lovely bike by the way.

Have to say, Evans were amazing. I only ordered it yesterday at 2 o clock. Kept me updated with texts and stuff. Arrived today at 12. Ready by 1.

I agonised over whether to get the 105 version at £999. But, for me, the wheels were worth paying more along with the tyres. But also, that Fizik is a decent wedge and so is the carbon seatpost. Add in Cannondale's SI cranks and, really, the Ultegra was a no brainer.

Indeed, apparently, the chainset is a bit expensive.

Have to wait until 1st jan before I can use my cycle to work voucher at evans...that was my no1 choice until they sold my size

Great looking bike, enjoy!!!

So, I did 10 miles today. Just to see what it's like. It's back in the attic now.

It's alright, I guess. :shock:

Lovely here today. Bit blowy mind.

Bender can I ask - did evans pricematch Paul's cycles? It's not on their pricematch list

Any other comments on it to convince me to go for one? Is it 'fast'

Rigga

Well jell

They did, Manager's discretion. I offered to pay a sum including Paul's express delivery charge (19.99) So £1319.98 all in.

It's hard to find on the website unless you type super 6 instead. Here it is:
http://www.evanscycles.com/products/cannondale/super-6-evo-ultegra-2015-road-bike-ec071002

Looks like more stock now, might be easier to convince them to shift them.

And, yes, it's quick!

cookeeemonster

Cheers...unfortunately they've sold out of the 56 size so it looks like I'll have to go for the 105 model instead. Will phone a few evans next week to find a manager that'll price match!

bendertherobot

Still at Pauls. I'd get it from there if you can stand mail order and boxes.

The 105 is fine. I'd have been happy having that groupset. I just think you get more than £299 extra value out of the Ultegra, carbon post, fizik arione, better wheels, and a better chainset.

It's tricky mind, you could stick some Fulcrum 3 on there and end up with a really good wheel set and you might come out lighter than the Ultegra. Might, the Aksium S are actually ok on weight. 200g heavier than the lightest wheels I've ever had on a bike.

Carbon frame and everything at that price... am I missing something?

No. Just end of season reductions. Originally £1999. Perhaps no one liked the colour.

Was thinking about the maths last night. Everything attached to it is "worth" around £900 or so. A Supersix frame for £500 is pretty special.

sweet! love the colours

What size is it?
If it's 56, When you sell it in a few months because it's not comfortable, give me a shout...

bendertherobot

54. I think I've nailed it this time. And, wheels aside, it's not getting upgraded...........

Hi, how does the geometry compare to a TCR? Is it more racey? Thinking of getting this bike or the 2016 model with my next cycle2work voucher. What is the sizing like? I currently have a TCR in a large with 90cm stem but feel this is too big. I'm 6ft 2 with 32" inside leg. I'm thinking more towards the 56cm.

Thanks Andy

bendertherobot

I'm 5ft 10 with a 31" leg. So I think 56 would be the way to go. I've only ridden it once. Weather. Hoping for another run out tomorrow.

ajlowin1983

Ok, thanks for reply. Please report back, I eagerly await your excellent feedback if it is anything like your input on the DHB Aeron range!! I will be using my Xmas wiggle vouchers to fund some new clobba!

Having ridden both (they are both aggressive in geometry), the TCR ML (next size down) is equivalent to the Evo 56.

Ahhhh... too small for you, you'll have to sell it to me, I'm only 5ft 9...

Nah more likely to be too big. Will fit me perfectly though...

Seems fairly Goldilocks so far...............
