So I love the R5, I think it is a beautiful looking bike. The Supersix likewise...
My day-to-day bike is a disc-braked Lynskey, a lovely comfortable ride which I love. A bit of a lump maybe when covered in its "stay comfortable in all weathers mode" so I want something different.
My requirements are very wooly, which is not helping me in any way.

I'd get 2016 Supersix Hi-Mod with mahosive tyre clearance. Mechanical DA9000. Zipp 404 NSW. Do a proper mid-life crisis.

I've just got my midlife crisis bike, a R2 which will eventually end up with Campag Chorus or Record and Chinese Tub Crabons on it. Was also looking at Supersixes, and I don't think you can go wrong with either.
Different geo between them though - R2/3/5 more relaxed compared to Supersix. Stems can sort you out either way though, running a 130mm -6deg stem on the R2 initially to give me a bit more reach.

Checked the waiting time on aeroroad?
Can offer some echo chamber advice.
Get the fastest best looking bike.
Aero bikes are done IMO. They dont offer substantial advantage for us noobs. An all round bike is a better choice. R2/3/5, Supersix Hi-mod, CF SLX, Emonda, Domane etc.
