    saw one of these in Evans... drooled over it for a few mins.. then shuffled back to the Sub £1k section :mrgreen:


    such a nice bike -> not sure about the hood colour though. Guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that!

    Saw one of these in Evans. Looked great. Looks amazing in your photos. The green and black are a good combination and very subtle. I was told the frame would be too aggressive for me but may test one anyway. How does it ride compared to your previous bike?

    i just couldn't help myself when i seen it in wheelbase, 25% off helped and a 0% credit card

    only been round the estate on it for 5 minutes so can't really comment yet, felt really solid and secure round the bends, but i've been riding me winter bike for 2 or 3 months now so anythings an improvement, far too icy n salty on our roads to find out properly now, roll on march/april

    A sucker for Cannondales here but, not really liking the white hoods or that grey 'red' chainset.. nicer ones in bb30 out there in shinier black. You need things spot on for a 4k bike , sort it you have the money :wink:

    the white hoods won't be white long, they're getting dirty already n thats just with messing about in the garage, hollowgram crank to come, once the current bill is paid off

    Yeah, a hollowgram and black hoods IMO.

    I had those white hoods on an old bike and they quickly start to look awful.

    if thats ok then yeah, superb, i'll pm you
  • Very nice bike. Subtle design and the white hoods work well to bring out the cannondale logos. Was the finishing set an upgrade or part of the package?
    How are you finding those wheels?

    thats totally standard, for the time being anyway, but still haven't ridden it unfortunately,
    i have some ksyrium sr's and cosmics already so no doubt the wheels will be fine as usual with mavic, looking forward to finding out

    I have a 2008 Super Six & an Evo is one of the few bikes I'd choose as a replacement.

    You've picked a great bike, enjoy 8)

  • new wheels help a lot, now you only need to replace the hoods with black or green; great bike, nice weight

  • Very nice, although I reckon black hoods would really set the bike off.
