"Persuaded" off the Cinelli (see another post). Struggling to understand how to choose still. Like the look of both. Cannondale is the more expensive for seemingly same spec. Is frame that much better. Geometry is a little different. I have sat on both and tried them. Both felt comfortable fit. But how to choose? How will they each feel after a day riding? Can't test that.

I am 6' and 33" inside trouser leg. Thinking 56 in either. Anyone any help?

    Both are pretty similar. The Cube geometry seems a bit racier, lower headtube etc. Plus its cheaper. I'd go for that.

    Got the Cube. Liking it with one exception.... the bar tape is very thin and unforgiving. Need to add a layer or replace.

    Try Fizik Performance tape, that's what I use on my CX bikes.
