Soloist vs. System Six
Basically which bike is Better? The Cannondale System Six or the Cervelo Soloist Carbon? I'm 6'2 195 and generate a pretty good amount of power when i crank out a sprint for the line. Both bikes claim to be very stiff at the bottom bracket with very little flex for a good transfer of power. But with both claiming to be the best? which one really is????
Does anyone own either of these bikes?
All opions greatly appreciated

I've test ridden both and besides the soloist "feeling" better, the SystemSix has toe overlap in the 60cm size, which sounds like your size too.
Maybe not a big deal, but if i'm gonna drop $5g's plus on a bike I don't want toe overlap.

It had all of the stiffness I wanted in the BB. No flex when I mashed, yet still had the great feel of a carbon ride. The SS was good, though in my opinion not quite as stiff. The aerodynamics of the soloist sealed it for me.
As a Tri person, you might also like the flippable seat angle on the Soloist (if you don't already have a dedicated tri bike).
