Those Six13's are all great bikes. I am convinced Cannondale discontinued them because the high end market demanded all carbon frames which were cheaper to outsource from the Pacific rim anyway. I had a Six13 road bike for 4+ years, rode it over 25,000 miles, loved it. It makes a fine TT rig. Very comfortable, responsive. Paid $2200 for it on eBay, it was almost new (2007). Bike shop wanted about $4,000 (after discount) for the same bike brand new. I have since replaced the crank with a newer Cannondale crank (FSA) that cost $175, and now added the new aerobats ($165). It's really a world class TT bike, took me a couple of years to dial in the fit and learn how to ride it. If I ever get a new TT rig it will be relatively easy, I understand the whole TT bike fit concept now. I'm very happy with this bike now, it's very comfy, and the newer TT bikes out there don't offer advantages over this one or do anything for me. I might go for a disc wheel one of these days.

Sometimes I wish I had something more spiffy, but then I couldn't buy as much bike schwag.

Why pour more money down the auto toilet when I don't particularly even like driving?

Hey Gomer, time for a new car.
#4667
'98 Ford Taurus wagon 24V DOHC with about 160k, '07 Ford Freestyle with about 60k
Neither of the cars get used for commuting to work (dad has a city car)... it's mostly just the weekly trips to and from Cleveland.

It's really not that bad. I'd ask you to come over and paint it, but you're too short.

Those things are built like a brick ****house. I was in the back of one when my mum totalled it going off a hairpin, and was comparatively alright. The front doors overlapped the rear after impact.
