Hi all,
Ive got the opportunity to buy a modern disc carbon bike so sadly it might be time to sell my nice (to me!) bikes.
Cannondale SuperSix Evo Hi-Mod 58cm £2000
Dura Ace 9000 (best groups ever?)
Vision Metron 40 Wheels
Compact crank with stages power meter
S works carbon seat post
Use Carbon bars
s works alu stem
11-28 cassette
Good
new chain
New bearings/freehub
LIGHT and nice to ride (7.3kgish) proper race bike!
Surprisingly comfortable
Great hill climb bike with some lighter wheels or nice light 'everyday' bike as is.
Crank has been checked so shouldn't turn to cheese mid-ride.
Bad
Scrapes associated with age - nothing horrible/worrying
FM hanger was replaced, scratch to seat tube while it was done (thanks shop..)
Headset came loose recently, fine now - could be to do with me replacing the steerer bung with the lighter one. Can include the one that came with the bike as well.
23mm only - old school!
ISEN All Season no19 57cm top tube £1900
Love this bike, nice steel tubing, clearance for big tyres, very comfortable.
Chris King Headset
Owen Wheels (rat race cycles in Nunhead)
Ultegra Hydraulic Disc 11 speed groupset
Compact Crank
11-32 cassette
The bad
I was knocked of my bike riding this, my finger/spine L/H shifter took most of the damage.. Under insurance it was sent to ISEN to check straightness of frame, total respray (this wasn't really needed, but nice to have!) and in an abundance of caution they replaced all the carbon parts, left shifter and rear mech.
Tiny dink in top tube (storage, not crash related)
The good
Straight frame, nice paint, new forks, wheels etc I have some carbon mudguards I can throw in too. Currently set up with Vittoria 32mm tyres, super comfortable! Steel is real, etc....

Im scared of the LFGSS wrong pricing wrath, I think this is fair after an eBay check but happy to listen to voices of reason :-)
