I never posted either of these:
This was a 58cm SuperSix Evo Hi-Mod. In this picture it had Super Record/Record 11, but I eventually switched it to DA9000. I believe this build was 14.4 lbs as shown:
This was a 58cm SuperSix Evo with the Ultegra Di2 build. My Dad now has this bike and I definitely miss the paint. Heavy, but looked great:
Some day I will go through this thread and post up all the Cannondales I've had in one post. It will be a big post.

@superdx & @kwalker, same EVO I have, it is one of the better paint schemes Cannondale has had i the last few years, it's too bad that it was not available as a Hi-Mod, that extra 230+- gram frame weight is hard to work around.

Can't say I noticed a difference between it and my hi-mods.

I was referring to the weight-weenieness (made up this word) of it.

I don't notice it much, but I don't have a hi-mod bike to compare it to!
Hey, where did the weight-weenies go!
This is supposed to be a site where we display our lightest creations, and try to beat 6.8, it's not about not noticing or not caring about the weight. As mine sits I added some stuff but still want it lower than 6.8kg. Mine isn't, even with my 1050g climbing wheels. Hence my comment was about the extra weight of a non Hi-Mod.
As far as feel goes, Cannondale has done a great job at making the non Hi-Mod feel exactly the same as the Hi-Mod by adding the extra carbon fiber in all the right places. But if we only went by feel, we would all be riding less expensive CAAD 10's. Kudos to Cannondale for building three bikes out of different materials that all ride essentially the same.
But . . . . this is still Weight-Weenies, isn't it!
And I do ride a less expensive CAAD 10 now and its lighter than your EVO! ZING!

Mine is 6.9kg, can probably push 6.6kg or 6.7kg but just not worth all the cash that's needed to get that target. I have titanium bolts on everything but that was only because the old ones started rust and didn't want a snapped screw anywhere (which is even more expensive to fix).
