I really wanted to hate my Carbon Fiber Cannondale Super Six Evo that I was kind of talked into building. Not really weight weenie at 15.5 lbs, Ultegra with tubulars, no Carbon components. I just can`t hate it. The only other carbon bike I really rode was a friends old USPS Trek that felt dead and lifeless. The Super Six feels very alive and handles better than any bike I have owned. Holds the line on fast tight turns like a dream. Rides smoother than any steel bike I have owned too. It really feels like a super bike. Agile and fast. Am I really faster on it? Not really so far, I am really out of shape compared to last year, but it feels good anyway.
