  • ^ I saw that answer coming, which is why I came back to edit my post :-)

    I had my eye on a particular Cannondale too - the Supersix evo Red, but its out of my budget. So, my heart wants to go for the next best thing, the Racing Edition with Sram Force 22. It can be had for about 1500 notes but a couple of things are bothering me about it, like the fact that it doesn't come with an Arione and it has an alloy seatpost wheras the Ultegra model that cost 100 quid more did. Said Ultegra model seems to have sold out everywhere now, which is a shame cos I would have happily gone for that one even though it was green. Like you, I watched the price descent, sat on it and now its out of stock in my size :(

    So yeah, heart loves the grey/red Evo but my head is wondering if I can get a better spec if I consider others*

    • The Raleigh Militis race is fantastically priced at £1695 with Force 22, but fuck me: yellow and black?

    (EDITED: I stated the Militis had Ultegra, not Force)

  • Racing is £1349 and Ultegra £1299. For the frame and spec I think they're both excellent. Saddle and seatpost are an easy sell and swap. I have a carbon C2 seatpost for sale if you want, off the Ultegra model. Which size frame?

  • 50cm

    I know the saddle/seatpost thing is being dead picky, but its one of those things where a voice inside my head says "well, if you spend 100 quid more on this one its got this and this and this..." The Arione thing is only because its my saddle.

    I've always loved the supersix frames, and ever since I've toyed with buying a new bike I never thought I'd consider anything else. Grouppo wise I'm not fussed, I've only ever used Campag (and Mirage at that) and bearing in mind how clunky my gears are at the moment anything is an improvement. My only affinity to Sram is I like the shape of the hoods.
