Cannondale SuperSix Evo kids bike

I might program the front buttons on the levers to run the front mech, and the rear buttons to run the rear. Such that the respective mechs move in the direction of the button press.

This seems really logical in my admittedly less than tidy mind.

I assume the stack on this 47cm BMC is too low?

I always find it weird that Di2 required two button to change the front derailleur, why not one? after all, you only need to shift once.

Fair point.

its more fun With 4 buttons though. I'm thinking when I'm gunning it in the drops I can just use my index fingers to move up and Down the cassette.

The DA shifters have a Secret button!

Thats so cool. Someone needs to Connect one to a Wireless garage door opener.

A secret button?!?!

Unfortunately so, and it's a touch long.

Also, all this Di2 chat only came about due to that cheap CAAD10. I'm not going to buy a £1500 frame which will then force me in to buying a groupset that I'm not that interested in...

Theres a clitorus joke in there somewhere.....

I'd get something that did both. Most do now.

Have to admitt I wanted the super6 pretty badly, and as I promised myself Electric shifting, I told myself I could buy mechanical, Upgrade to Wireless later, and dremel it.

So I see where you're coming from.

seriously, all this talk over the minutiae of frames this, di that ... bed wetting! It sounds like the most important factor is fit and availability, followed by price. So seek out frame that meets your fit requirements. Buy and build, go riding. Even if you still had a 10 spd. mechanical group on it you'd still be able to train and be fast. You'd certainly lose a lot more by not riding.

Don't repair the frame, you'll never fully trust it again.

Considering I have a full, working SRAM Red22 groupset on my bust 'dale, buying anything other than a mechanical frame would't make any sense.

I'm hearing back from CSG about a SuperSix frame, might be an option.

best frame fit for me costs between £700 and £1500

Are you just going to buy a £700 frame immediately, without looking at all the options? Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of cash to throw about without being damn sure it's the best value I'm going to get.

Cant be many options With a 365 Reach.

I like the shouty green....

Is this type of accident an outlier, or is it fairly common to write off the frame when it has full-carbon dropouts?

best frame fit for me costs between £700 and £1500

Kinesis Racelight 4S in 48cm, job done.

Stack: 523mm
Reach: 365mm

You're right, that's about right. Add it to the list.

Sure, look at the options. I'm not suggesting spunking a grand willy nilly. But something like that Kinesis would be an excellent buy. You'll be able to use that for years.
Then relax and take your time to find the perfect frame with all the options you need.

If you rush in now, you know there'll be abetter option in a few short months, so may as well wait for that.

It's got a metal hanger, they aren't full carbon. In a luckier world, the derailleur hanger would have snapped, rather than the dropout.

Unfortunately, this kind of damage is rare, and a particularly bad case, from what I can gather.

A nasty case of a bent hanger. You'd have gotten no end of stick for that in the 70's.

Kinesis Racelight 4S in 48cm, job done.

That's actually a really good shout. Inexpensive, practical with the 'gaurd mounts and looks great in silver/orange.

Do it.

I third the Kinesis motion.

I thought we could drag out the unhelpful di2 chat for a bit.

At least recommend a few more over budget ill  fitting frames.

The kinesis will fill the gap perfectly, and be a great winter/trainer once the ultimate tiny racer frame is found.

The ultimate tiny racer frame is the SuperSix Evo currently sitting unloved in the corner of my front room.

Everyone is correct that the Kinesis seems great on paper. My friend has one, I'll ask his opinion. I bet it looks awful in 48 though :'(

Annoys me a lot. Massive deisgn flaw. I was going to look on the software and see if you can programe one button to do both.

@jammy has one too .. would love to see both in same pic if you end up getting it.

The wife's 48cm crosslight looks pretty darn good. Yah OK it's a different frame but hey you might be surprised.
