2xEVO Hi-Mods (4.99kg [work in progress] & 5.99kg)

Moved things around and added weights for the sub 5kg project after getting a chance to part out and weigh everything!

Evo #1 currently at the shop for paint stripping! Can't wait to get it back. Should be around 2 weeks.
If it doesn't drop 100-150gram, I'll still be happy with the new raw look.

Progress! This is gonna be done in less time than anticipated! Can't wait to get it back and weigh
On the otherhand, the wait for the wheelset just got harder! LOL

I'm excited on your behalf!! Can't wait to see this built up.

This is gonna turn out great, can't wait to see the final build.

So!
The EVO #1 weight dropped only 30 grams which is crazy (frame + fork paint strip). I was expecting something between 100 - 150. BUT I love how it turned out!
Also I love that frame + fork is still under 1000g even though the drop wasn't big.

With Enve 2.2 Classic tubulars (which is my lowest weight set at the moment. Still waiting for sub 1000g cadens) it's 5.30kg! With Cadens I think it'll be around 5.15kg. We'll see. Might need throw on my THM Clavicula to go sub 5kg lol.

But the bigger story is, I had a bunch of ebay Cannondale decals lying around and tried a few things. In the end, my favorite was the one I had to "redesign". For some reason, none of the ebay stickers are correct for the supersix 2016-2017. The logo on the bike is not exactly as the one on print. They italicized it a little more for the on bike versions. So I ended up finding a vector Cannondale catalogue, measured up the logo from black / chrome evo and matched the digital file to look exactly like that.

I got 1 sample printed and it arrived today. Threw it on the bike and I'm super happy with the results. Logo looks exactly like my other bike!
This is a bronze colored decal. I actually love how it contrasts vs raw carbon yet still a little subtle. There's a lot of color options and I might experiment more (beauty of logo over clear coat) but very happy how it looks at the moment.

That's a great colour choice I think. Really suits the build.

Love a lot how it ended up looking. Out of curiosity, from your previous message I didn’t get if you used stickers over the coated frame (or frame not yet coated?).

[ianeire]

Love it. And would also love a copy of that digital file!

Frame is already clear coated. Stickers are on top of the clearcoat.
Downside, they can get damaged in time.
Upside, I just ordered 10 of them and I can also change the look of my bike down the line

They seem to be very high quality. They are advertised as outside / inside and durable to wet / cleaning etc. Time will tell.
