I'm just poking at you. 
I really thought it was pretty funny.

Sire,
I do believe your steed must require more than 10 miles of exercise per day to be kept fit and appropriately hot.
However if it pleases Your Highness, no more crotch shots are required.
Sincerely,
The Hotrnot Minnions

I dont know if most people had seen my serious part of the post since it was at the very bottom of my OP below all the hauntingly bad photos, so I'm going to repost it.
In all seriousness though, I think I have concluded that I will hold off on an Evo frameset. I tried to think, would I REALLY enjoy riding THAT much more by having an Evo frameset from what I currently have? I think I would be more excited about having it than really enjoying the riding that much more than I already do. I think the excitement of it would wear off in a couple months and I'd be back to wanting something bigger and badder. I feel like I might be in that place of satisfaction (At least for today I am) and i will just save my money for some other things I have been wanting that has nothing to do with cycling. With the limited time I have to ride, my bike is still more than I will ever need.

The gym is a waste of valuable cycling time. Get some lights.

I understood the Bianchi as your first bike, and now the 10 makes sense. Max distance.

So, I have gotten a lot of crap for only posting pictures of my bike updates and nothing about actually riding it. As I've said before, I'm married and a father of 2. I go to the gym at 4:30am and leave from there to work by 6am. Come home by 4, just in time to park the car and lay my crap down and walk down the street to pick up my kids. My wife works from 11-7, so I have the kids till she gets home around 7:30pm. Monday's and Wednesdays my Daughter has gymnastics at 6pm and Ballet on Saturdays at 11am. Tuesdays and Thurs she has swimming at 5pm. Wife plays volleyball on Monday's and Thursdays at 8pm. My week is SLAMMED so full that I usually cant find enough time to wipe my ass, let alone ride my bike farther than the stop sign at the end of my block. Luckily, the nights are staying lighter later so I might be able to have some time after putting the kids down for bed, but I'm usually so freaking tired by 9pm that I'm ready for bed myself.
I never found it necessary for any member on a forum to PROVE that he/she rode, but since it appears to be that way, I figured I would share my very uninteresting ride. Someone mentioned that they would rather read about my 5 mile ride a thousand times over than read about my brake calipers, so for anyone else that feels that way, Here ya go!
I didn't have a lot of time available, but I really wanted to get out. The weather was pretty good. Sunshine, Dry the last 4 or 5 days, seemed to be a headwind in every direction I turned. Winds were probably 25-30mph. Roads were pretty clear with little traffic and it looked like the road crews had just been out to sweep the roads. I had just come off of being sick last week so i wasn't looking to break any records, just wanted to spin.
Only got in 10 miles today. Not far, but it was a hard pushed 10 miles. Had just done some adjustments to the derailleurs so it was nice to get out and see how well I did (Surprisingly good for my first time). The last 2 miles is all uphill to my house, no way around it. Since I haven't been riding much lately, my time was about 40 seconds behind my normal times. Got home just in time to get dried off, changed and then off to the track with my son. I had told him all week i would take him to watch motorcycle Road racing.
I took some photos to also "prove" that I got out today. Enjoy

Who cares what people say. Ride the bike or just stare at it - who gives a hoot. Its the interwebs - no need to justify things to others. But really dude... a massive crotch shot for your first "im on the bike" pic? Fail.

That's either some sanity creeping in, or something else...

How do you hold off on a frameset you already bought? According to Cannondale's website all SuperSix are EVOs. Or are you actually considering upgrading your SuperSix EVO to a SuperSix EVO HM?

I think that's a new thing in 2014. Mine is a 2012 and it is simply a Supersix, not an evo. I was looking specifically for a 2012 HM evo, but as I mentioned it, I just don't know right now. Its a better bike all around and woukd certainly satisfy my weight weenie side, but its a large chunk of change for me to buy one, IF i can find the specific frame im after.
