So I was there when this got pulled from the box for the build… We all started to crack up. it was an order bike for a customer, so we called them up and asked them if they wanted it this way? They had ordered another bike at the same time and chose the other one.

We offered a discount, but they still wanted the other bike… So out on the floor it goes.

I am still scratching my head on how it happened?

So what is the best Manufacturer mess up you’ve seen?

Change some bits and pieces. Should I buy higher model maybe, but I really like this red color

What a stellar start – loving the change of pace, lack of traffic AND the sound of tires on gravel.

Loving it so far. The tower is a bit much, but I'll sort that out soon

Can anyone help identify which generation this Cannondale SuperSix EVO is?

Buycycle link: https://buycycle.com/en-it/product/supersix-evo-carbon-disc-ultegra-di2-2023-98192

The listing says 2023, but I’m not sure if that means actual model year or just that it was bought/sold in 2023.

It looks like Ultegra Di2 12-speed to me, but the frame/front end seems more like the previous SuperSix EVO generation rather than the newer Gen 4 / Delta Steerer bike.

So I’m wondering:

is this Gen 3 or Gen 4? is it really a 2023 model, or an older model sold in 2023? does the cockpit/front end look like the older version with limited steering angle from the cable routing?

Would really appreciate any help from someone who knows these bikes well.

Is there any way to fit enve in route stem on caad 13.

I already own both.

I am trying to learn bike mecanic but i made a mistake buying the stem second hand.

And i just learned that the forks fall off when you remove the stem.

At least i am having fun i guess.

I am looking at purchasing my first road bike for triathlon training and want to know if this is a good deal. After looking through Reddit I am guessing this is too high. Curious to what you guys would pay for this bike?

In order of appearance:

Synapse 5 Carbon

R1000

Topstone 3

This is a Picture of the Thru Axle Entry of my one year old SuperSixEvo.

Looks like a lot of scoring for the time I use it.

I clean my bike frequently and also i am renewing the grease often. Maybe this is a part where no grease should be used, but there is when i am putting the greased thuraxle through the hole.

Also I am using a torque wrench with the 10nm written on the thruaxle.

For the front I do a similare procedure, there is no damage on the hole.

It‘s not problem yet but i think it might will lead to a problem. What do you think?

I have a cannondale caad 5, does a 44mm headset fit or is there a different size for it, thank you

Hi all, for some reason I cannot seem to sign up to the vintage Cannondale forums, so im trying on here instead. Having trouble identifying the exact model of this silk road. It appears to have been painted at some point, chips seem to show orange paint under the grey topcoat. The “CANNONDALE” wording is just vinyl lettering thats been stuck on. From what I can understand of the SN, it is a 1997 model, but comparing the components to the catalogue it doesn’t seem to match any that were released? I picked it up cheap a couple of days ago. Apart from the Headshok its in great condition! Thanks!

Just bought a 2008 supersix for 250£, very happy so far. SRAM force/rival 2x10/Krysium SL.

Bike was not set up on the pics, so don't mind the saddle angle.

Any things I should check /classical problems of that bike ?

Also: can I judge by the serial number which exact model it was? And the original price?

I took my 30+ year old R800 out for a spectacular ride on the roads near Oak Ridge TN today. Perfect day of blue skies, no headwind, and almost no traffic.

The bike performed so beautifully that I almost didn't miss my SSE being in the shop. The R800 is scheduled to go to Tennessee Valley Bikes on the 29th to get updated to modern components and a complete overhaul. Im spending as much as I did when I bought it in 1995 but this bike is worth that to me.
