Cannondale ss black inc?
I was offered a 2014 Supersix black inc frame by a riding buddy for $700, it is obviously a good deal but I want to hear your thoughts. I will probably move the components from my current bike over to it.

As long as it's the right size, go for it. You can recoup some $$ by selling the Fuji.

I'm curious as to what exactly you are hoping to discover here. You haven't mentioned anything specific you are hoping to sort out by bringing your question to the table. You wanted to hear our thoughts about what? Its a great offer and you know it is, what else is there to talk about here? And just to confirm here, I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything of the sort. I saw your post and being an Evo HM, I was eager to see what was going on. After reading your post, I'm at a loss in what to say other than...good deal. Hope it works out for ya. Not sure if its earlier than 2014 or not, but a buddy of mine has an early production evo black inc and he mentioned that he has had issues with 25mm tires clearing the chain stays. He bought some of the Vittoria G+ tires 25mm and had to sell them because they didn't clear. Something to look into I guess.

Ride quality is fantastic. Stiff and "muted". I always use the word muted to describe the ride. I feel it does a great job ubsorbing vibration of the road. The stiffness of the frame feels great without being too stiff like an Aero frame. The incredibly light frame is great for all around riding and climbing as well.
If you like the 7900 and can get a good deal on it, then do it!

Something to consider when ordering tires.. Also when rotating them (if you do that sort of thing.)

Not great photos but I fit 25mm Schwalbe Pro1s/Enve 3.4's on my 2013 SS EVO (non hm)...will find out shortly if they fit on the 2017 EVO.

Why would you put a 10 speed groupset on an EVO, unless it comes with the bike. You need that extra gearing if you want to climb. I can't imagine doing any sort of events with over 5-10K of elevation on a 10 speed. Gotta spin to win baby.

It's a difference of getting dropped or not in a fast group hilly ride, so yes. Why put yourself in a disadvantage when you have a choice in the 1st place? You can buy an 11 speed groupset now for practically the same price as the 7900 DA.

For when I am climbing in Florida? I don't think that cog will be a big deal.
