what does cannondale six mean?
 
what does the 'six' in 'super six' or 'system six' mean?

Six is the atomic number of carbon on the periodic table of elements. Cannondale use to make a Six/Thirteen model, thirteen is the atomic number of aluminium.

I would have assumed it was made out of neon. A frame made out of xenon would be the SuperLIV.

X isn't the atomic number of anything. It's just low grade bike porn.

Xenon is Xe and the atomic number is 54.

You must be an engineer. I hate working with no-sense-of-humor engineers.

All other responses were really funny.
