Cannondale Supersix Evo Force Racing

galatzo

Bought this August bank holiday when Wheelies were knocking an extra £250 off purchases over £1500 (bike was £1499 so I bought some bar end plugs for a quid and saved £250) so it cost £1250
Upgraded the wheels just before Christmas thanks to a mega deal at CRC (£250 for the pair). ad didn`t mention the green decals and CRC gave me voucher for £50 and a 25mm tyre as that was listed wrong too !
Impressed with the Schwalbe One tyes it came with but not sure how long they`ll last at this time of the year.
Changed the bars to my long time favourite for the money PlanetX Strada Lite and saddle for another fave the Selle San Marco Concor Carbon FX.
And this week I replaced the fugly FSA chainrings with some BORs from Germany.
Plans ? Probably get some Time Xpressos in Spring and lose about 150gr, new Cannondale top cap and expander is imminent saving 35gr over the stock one. Can`t decide what bars stem and seatpost I like at the moment so that`s on hold a while although I have got a Zipp Service Course SL seatpost so would just need the stem which`d be cheaper than whole cockpit.
Was already using Force 22 and still very happy with it.
Overall very happy with it and looking forward to taking it to Majorca in April 8)
Current weight as it stands with heavy pedals is 7.050kgs


Love these chainrings




Internal routing on rear brake - something you don`t get on the Green Ultegra one Bender

Understated but I really like that!

What are the wheels?

Cheers
Maviic Ksyrium Elites, much prefer them to the Shimano RS81s I had before.
Never used the Vision wheels it orignally came with.

Clearly we should swap wheels. Yes, I know yours are a better model but can you live with your OCD owning green wheels? I doubt it. Consider this a public service. You know it makes sense.

Proper job that!Well done sir.
Green wheel decals.............only mark against it.

To start with I thought the decals would come straight off (I wasn`t expecing them) but then in the flesh the bright slightly luminous green looks pretty good against the orangey red.
Replacement decals are available on Ebay in standard colours but not in green or any other colour for that matter so just hanging on for now. That said I could change my mind at any moment, the standard decals look just right with it...

I might do that with the chainrings. What do I need? Makes it look pretty much like the SiSL2

I bought from this seller for about £40 posted from Germany, think they`re over £100 for the pair from German webshops, so loads cheaper than a set of Spiderrings.
Fitttings a doddle, no need to take crankarms off, just loosen the bolts off, remove and replace, there`s videos on Youtube of how to do it if in doubt.
