Apparently not looking good for LAB71 in Europe. Delayed shipping has now turned into no current shipping date. If not resolved soon I'll be buying something else.
I had the same. Wanted first the Lab71 full bike, discovered that frame built with even or better was 2500k cheaper, went to frame in Dutch shop. Got told not deliverable in my size, went back to bike to discover that now the shipping date has shifted to 30/09 and that is to be seen. Almost cancelling as the black frame would be available in 1/6 in a Belgian shop.
If that gets delayed it will not be for this year anymore. Not going to buy something to sit and collect dust in wintertime

What delivery dates did you get and where ?
I will know more on Friday. There are a series of meetings at Cannondale due apparently with shipping dates decided. My guess is that the production is slowed somehow and they are figuring out if they move distribution around to fulfill Europe or not.

I was about to press go on an Aeroad CFR EPS in Jan when the rumors of this new SS appeared. I'm not going to miss any training days if they can't deliver here before the snow melts in Stockholm, which will be in 2-3 weeks, I'll just go back to the Aeroad, or maybe a Litening if I can get a good deal.

Seems so odd to mount that co-ordinated PR campaign across Euro press, YouTube, Insta etc. and then not be able to fulfil any orders.

Sorry it's not worked out.
Sadly, it's the reverse of the days when we in the USA couldn't buy Canyons unless we had friends in Europe or visited Koblenz. Then Canyon arrived here (my wife has a t-shirt from its launch at Sea Otter 2019) and now you can't buy them because they are out of stock :)

Sooooooooooo.

Bought the Evo 2. Non hi-mod.
Built my old components (DA) over to the new frame together with the Zipp 404 wheelset.
Bike came in at 7.4kg complete with pedals and powermeter, garmin mount and bottle cages. Ready to go.

First impression on the ride this morning............
No so much different from the previous bike (Evo 3 non himod). Loved the ride. Did not put her through thorough paces yet (Sunday will be racing)
But the bike is responsive and feels fast on acceleration.

The color scheme "raw" is absolutely AMAZING. Love it.

Looks really good and I usually don’t like black bikes.
Is that the pure raw carbon we see? Those are bizarre patterns compared to previous raw bikes no?

The photo is a bit crap, sorry.
Will post better pics this afternoon.

Raw carbon yes.
The patterns that you see on the pic are because of the wet bike. Had to wash after the build.

That's a great looking frame. Can't wait to see some better pics.

I have the 2022 Supersix, 2017 and 2015, three different generations. The newer disc frame is my least favourite. Would love to try the new one.

Currently on the stock standard 100mm until I can figure out what stem to buy.......need to go up to 120mm.
Vision would be an option but in South Africa a mission to find.
Maybe Deda or just wait for the MoMo bars to be commercially available later in the year.

I was already thinking as you are taller that the stock stem would be on the relax side :D I just ordered the exs bars and heard they are working on the spacers for the sse4

That is what raw carbon looks like. Most 'raw' frames have a light base coat colour or a black tint or something.

This is a frame I've stripped and clear coated.
