    If you had to choose between these 2 only, which one would it be?

    Neither, I'd rather walk than ride those yolks.

    Poll?

    Cannondale!

    edit: I can't believe the official Trek website says "Full Shimano Ultegra gruppo". That is so lame. It does look quite nice in black though.

    If you can find out the weight on the Cannondale do share. Considering one at the moment and can't find a listed weight anywhere for this years model.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,561 ✭✭✭Eamonnator


    So does the Cannondale.(look good in black)

    Emonda should be one of the lightest in the price range but Evo isn't far behind. Problem with Emonda is that it will come with compact cranks. I prefer 52/36 instead. Other than that it is a real coin toss.

    Rented a SuperSix ultegra in GC a few weeks back and absolutely loved it. Great frame that felt light, even with aksiums on. When the wheels were dropped out in was a very light item. I had the green one, a few others had the pale blue and the rest black. The black looks very very nice! The green was cool, but personally wouldn't choose it for home...

    Good luck whatever you go for... such a terrible decision to have to make :P

    the supersix looks a racy bike.. low headset
    the Trek looks like an endurance comfy bike
    not that it would matter to me but i like the Cannondale as i rode one of the older supersix's from TopBike shop in Clontarf

    They're both fairly fugly, IMO, .

    If they were in night club I'd suspect they would both still be shuffling around at 2am - probably dancing around with each other, while all the other bikes would have pulled.

    The Cannondale is the least worst


    ......but they are both mingers. :)

    Ah now the Super Six is a sexy beast! I'd pick him off the dance floor!

    Here's a fairly flattering (apart from the uncut steerer and red pedals) pic of the SL6 in black.

    IMO it comes down to whether you like very compact geometry and integrated seat mast or traditional geometry and a conventional seat post.

    And for contrast, a stock photo of a black (105) equipped 2015 Evo.

    Cannondale seems to have gone full gloss for 2015 which is a bit disappointing IMO. The silver detailing is rank.

    The only really stealth option (apart from the 10k Nano) comes with SRAM.

    edit: Epic Cycles are doing a Di2 version which looks sweeeeet.

    I know that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but nobody will ever persuade me that the Propel is anything other than properly ugly!

    A deposit doesn't exactly mean you'll have it any time soon. Look harder you say? Tell that to the folk who have had to wait months longer than expected.
