Another Cannondale Supersix Evo - Force

[PinaRene]

Today I picked up a Cannondale Supersix EVO Force racing edition. I think it's something different than black/green or white/black and in fact I like it a lot. The bike was all original - incl. a lot of spacers, original saddle - original chainrings a not a scratch on shifters or derailleurs. Wheels are the magical Zipp 404 Firecrest 2017 Clinchers ( I have the same but Tubulars on my Scott ). Came home, cut the fork - put on the Berk Lupina UD - cleaned the bike - and found one little blemmish on the rearstay from a 27.5mm Conti 4000 S tire ( 25mm out of the box ).

I think a few changes will take place : handlebar - seatpost ( Deda Superleggera / Superzero like on the Holdsworth ) and maybe a pair of Stronglight or Sram chainrings ( all black looks better on this build I guess ). On the bottle cages I need some advise , Arundel matt or to keep these for a while.

So here are some first pictures.

Frame : Cannondale Supersix EVO incl Vork
Groupset : Sram Force 22 met cannondale SI crank 52/36
Wheels : Zipp 404 Firecrest clincher 2017- Schwalbe one 25mm tires. ( meassure 25.8mm )
Seatpost - stem - handlebar : Cannondale C2
Saddle : Berk Lupina UD
Pedals : Look Keo
Cassette : Shimano Ultegra 11-28
Bottle cages : Cannondale






Buildlist : Some weights are estimates - most are verified.

Very nice paintjob, I agree about black chainrings, for me the bottles cages are ugly, you have a lot of options, Carbonworks , Tune , although I think with this paint the King cage ti could be perfect.

Some nice black carbon cages and a cannondale spider ring setup would be perfect! Great looking bike!

[PinaRene]

Thanks for the kind words.

* I think the cages will be Arundel matt black like my other bikes.
* Handlebar and setapost will be Deda Superzero 2017 with the better logo's ( like on the Holdsworth. )
* Chainrings will be Stronglight CT2, good shifting performance for a reasonable price.... It will be my ride to work also.

Have the same frame in slightly different setup. Its paintjob really stands out among other SS Evos.

What handlebar are you running now?

[gangbang]

This is Ritchey EvoCurve in 42 cm.

I actually really like the shape of those handlebars, I know you can get classic bend bars quite easily, but i didn't know Cannondale made their own. Refreshing to see a different paint scheme than usual

What handlebar are you running now?

I use the cannondale C2 42 cc handlebar now.

And Update :

* Replaced the Cannondale C2. Weight saving 16 grams
* Replaced the original Cannondale Bottle cages with two Arundel Matt black cages. Weight saving around 45 grams.

Ordered :

* Riesel Design Japan topcap and Carbon - Ti expander - Weigth saving around 40 grams.




To Do :

* Seatpost Deda Superleggera 27.2
* Deda Superzero Matt handlebar with red Superzero logo 42cm outer-outer
* New chainring spider I guess - 10 arm or 8 arm spider.

Did another few upgrades :

Carbon - Ti - Riesel Topcap = - 35grams
Cannondale Spidering = - 45 grams
Handlebar and seatpost = - 130 grams

[PinaRene]

Bought a pair of Zipp 202 Firecrest clinchers for the windy days. Weight is now 6.6 - 6.7Kg complete with pedals and bottle cages.

And finally a picture with the Zipp 202 Clincher wheels ( - 420 gr/Zipp 404 with Conti Race light innertubes ) and shortened rear brake cable. Did some climbing last year in France with this bike and it was good. Here in The Netherlands I ride whem with the 202's when it's windy like yesterday Bf6. The bike is also fairly light with ± 6.6 Kg, and rides fine.

Thinking of selling my Cannondale Supersix and go for a gravel/disc brake bike for winter period and commute rides also. Planning of selling it with the Zipp 404's or otherwise with a pair of FFWD F3R tublar tire wheels. What would this nice bike be worth ? because I have no idea right now .

Frame is in overall good condition - so is the groupset. Wheels are from 2018 - only things that are changed : Crank is now a almost brand new ( no marks Cannondale SL ) and a Fizik Arione saddle braided one. With the FFWD Wheels the bike is around 6.4Kg - With the Zipp 404 it's around 6.8Kg depends on cassette and tires.
