I am concentrating on the frame. My current bike is a Supersix EVO carbon. I'm looking at replacing it with Supersix EVO Hi-Mod carbon. Cannondale has made several changes and improvements in the frame construction for 2016.
My spine doc recommended a bike like he has -- an $8000+ Trek Madone -- but my pockets aren't that deep.

I've ridden a friend's 2015 Hi-Mod and the ride is VERY NICE. So the 2016 should be even better.
