Cannondale Supersix Evo HM

Guy buys new bike, starts boring thread mostly for his own benefit:

Picked up a used Hi-Mod for a seemingly great price, slightly scuffed paint, and I never liked the lack of downtube decal on these frames, so a repaint is due. Considering the sparkly green of the old Cannondale Track frames.

Chuck on some light bicycle wheels, farsports f1 bar/stem and new 12 speed Ultegra - away we go.

I believe the correct term is "icelandic green", I've always lustered after a previous gen S6 in that colorway. But have seen one before, think it's owned by a custom painter, can't remember who.

Anyway, interesting to see what you come up with!
Please get SI cranks for this, every cannondale needs proper cranks.

There's a nice marbled green one which was done by Fat Creations on Weight Weenies which is a pretty dark green and a bit garish for my tastes.

Can't justify SI cranks when I already have some P2M NG/Aldhu ones waiting in the wings.

Nice! You should be able to get this pretty light.

I've pretty much bottomed out my SS Evo normal mod at 7.3kgs, to save much more I'd have to start shaving the paint off.

Icelandic green-ish getting brewed.

Out of the paint shop, into the build up. All parts ready to go.

That’s lovely!

wow! the finishing on the paint looks spot on!! you must be happy!

Huge improvement

Great work.

Cannondale seem to have just given up on their paintjobs last few years.

Super nice and a huge improvement. Who did the paintwork?

Shaping up to be a nice build.

Thanks all. The paint is certainly exactly what I had envisaged, my dreams of an entry on hhsrb remain alive.

@EstelleGetty the paintwork was done by a company called Carbon Steed here in Brisbane.

Looks lovely, looking forward to seeing it built up.

Paint job 10/10, paint shop's name 1/10, only got the one point as they decided to not go with Old Gal Paintworks.

They really need to sort out their current logo. This one is great.

So good! Looking forward to the build...

This is incredible! Where did you get it done? I've been considering some old-school Cannondale livery for my boring-ass matte black CAAD13.

Ignore me. Just bothered to read further down the thread.

Would be great if this had sliver parts of that modern/vintage parts.

subbed, looks sick

That's ace...

Looks amazing! Huge improvement over the stock paint.

Reverse mgoof?

Maybe Duraace 9000 cranks, though looks like you’re going for 12 speed.

Bike paint looks sick!
