Peeza21's wife makes a change
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
I will be documenting my wifes change from her Cannondale Supersix evo 50cm (mens frame) to her 'New' Emonda SL5 WSD 47cm frame.
Wont be super weenie but I am aiming at making it look good for her.
Weights will be added once I strip her cannondale and am able to weigh items. I am toying with upgrading her from Shimano 105 5800 to Ultegra 6870 Di2
Here is what she is riding currently.
And here is the seller's picture of the frame from eBay
I hope to have the frame and a few pink accents by the end of the week.

What is the downside of the current frame? To be honest I at least visually prefer the cannondale...
I’m guessing the fit is the downside of the current frame looking at the picture? I prefer the look of the Cannondale as well personally (but then my wife rides a Supersix in a 48cm).Lightweenie wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 12:42 pmWhat is the downside of the current frame?

Rather than swap the whole group, I’d recommend you swap out the cranks for something a lot lighter. Functionally 105 is sweet and the biggest weight saving opportunity by far is in the cranks.
The main reason is for fit, the cannondale is too long for her, as she has longer legs and a shorter upper body.
If I do go to 6870 I may well change the cranks out to R8000 as I do really like the look of them, or possibly a pair of Rotorbencolem wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 2:01 pmI’m guessing the fit is the downside of the current frame looking at the picture?

Frame arrived today, was not expecting that!
Quickly grabbed the wheels that will probably spend most of their life on this bike. 50mm clinchers with Corsa 28mm tyres.
Personally I am a huge Cannondale fan boy, but definitely prefer the aesthetics of the trek for my wife.

Nice! I think the Trek will look a lot better with a shorter stem than the Cannondale, and with the reduced reach, perhaps a little more slammage could be achieved too? I jest, but it would look good.
By the way, how much did that seat post weight? At that length it has to be easily under 150g?
