Cannondale Super Six 105

Thinking about buying this years Super Six in the sales. road.cc and bike radar reviews are really favourable, I’ve tried it out at my LBS and feels a good fit. Anyone on here have one?

Current bike is a B’Twin Triban 5a so think it might be a decent upgrade.

I was looking at the Super Six 105 and looks a brilliant bike but quite a racey geometry so am going to go for the Synapse Carbon 105 which is a bit more relaxed once I’ve saved up some pennies!
If I went for the Super Six I’d try and get one in the Cannondale colours and it looks really nice. The BTwin seems to get good reviews but the C’dale is a definitely a step up!

I’ve had a super six for a couple of years now and was very surprised at how comfortable it is over long periods. I find it’s great for a quick hour blast right up to 5+ hour rides.

The only niggle i’ve ever had with it is the BB30 but the bearing were replaced under warranty. I’m tempted to replace it with a Praxis converter when this set of bearings wear out but other than that I love it.

Kuco – the feedback does seem to be that for a race bike it is a really comfortable bike when you don’t want to hammer it.

j40aja – I’ve also looked at the Synapse but I’m only 34 so in my head I think the flexibility and stretch isn’t an issue yet. 🙂

It’s more to do with core strength than flexibility, most people can touch their toes, I doubt racers are much more felxible than average. I can get my palms flat on the floor!

I’ve an ageing (1.1/8 external headset, how retro!) CAAD4, and whilst the frame is lovely and comfortable, as I’ve not ridden for quite a while it gives me back/shoulder/neck/arm ache on long rides as my arms are doing all the suppurting, not my back/core. The simple solution is to flip the stem ‘up’ untill I’m stronger again but that’s not asteticaly pleasing!

I got a supersix HM. Lovely and comfy bike. You can alter stem/seat post to make it as comfy as you like, it not as if you can’t change these things to suit.

So I bought the bike today. Pick it up sometime next week when I find out what I’m working. Thanks for the advice troops.

Where did you get it from?

Sprockets Cycles in Kilmarnock.
