Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

"EZ-Fit" just doesn't cut it for a bicycle.

Yep. Relaxed fit is more accurate than endurance geometry, but fat, middle-aged, weekend warriors didn't like the way it sounded.

From: West Gippy, Australia

Bikes: 2017 Ridley Noah SL - Candy Apple DA9000, 2011 CAAD10 Berzerker Ult6800, 2013 FOCUS Mares CX Ult6800

I've ridden a number of 100-mile+ rides on my CAAD10s, and the Supersix is smoother than the CAAD, so it'll do the job no worries.

Fit can be altered to a certain degree on bikes and remember, too, 'comfort' for long rides can be influenced by tyre choice and tyre pressures.....

I say get the one you ENJOY the look / feel of the most and get your fit dialled-in right - then ride the thing!

cheers
