Been meaning to do a write up for a few weeks but kept forgetting... I did the Marmotte in June, and seeing all those super expensive and shiny bikes planted a seed in my head that i must get a new bike...
Previous bike was this Cannondale Supersix Evo 2016 - final weight of it was 6.5kg.
Mid build -
Finished product -
Absolutely love the chrome/rainbow decals when they catch the sun. The bike also looks very blue in low light, but more purply, greeny and bluey in full sun
Got a set of Hyper D67's on the way, hopefully be here end of next week. Goal with this one isn't to go 'weight weenie' like i was doing with the Cannondale. 99% of my riding is on the flats round where I live, so the deeper wheels and more aero should hopefully suit that nicely!
I had a bike fit as part of my booking/collection and I've got to say, it's some of the best money i've spent on a bike related purchase. I've never felt as comfortable on a bike before. I mainly booked it to help size the bars and seatpost - i'd have gone 100mm for the bars as per the Supersix, but I actually needed 120's so it would have been an expensive thing to change later down the line!
I got the red crank as a free upgrade as the shop got sent the wrong force axle. I am looking to change the rotors to the Red Centreline ones and also possibly the rear mech to the Red varient purely for the looks, but keeping an eye on ebay for some deals on there
Main reason for going Force was the hood shape on the Red grupo in my eyes is nasty. Looks far too big and bulky. Also, it was a tad too expensive for the ol' bank
