Read the description and you have it. Summary:
The Six Carbon 6 is a beautiful bike for many reasons--lightweight 100% carbon frame with a combination of stiffness and ride comfort. After 1,900 miles two words come to mind--comfort and speed. This bike moves beneath me on rolling terrain and up hills with relative ease, and I'm not the worse for it after 4 hours in the saddle due to the shock resistant carbon and Cannondale carbon technology--hourglass shaped seat stays, oversized tapered headtube. My only complaint has been with the FSA Omega Compact Crank/Chainrings--whether because these items are less intuitive than Shimano 105 or because I'm a neophyte roady (or both) I have had nothing but headaches with shifting my front chainrings until I upgraded to Shimano 105. Now it's all an afterthought, very intuitive, and almost shifts for me. The delay in this upgrade caused me not a few headaches & trips to the dealer who basically blamed me for the mishaps. Since the upgrade I no longer patronize this bike shop. Strengths:
100% carbon monocoque frame down to dropouts, stiff yet shock absorbent for a speedy yet comfortable ride, excellent power transfer with the BB30 technology. Weaknesses:
FSA Omega Compact Crank/Chainrings were a nightmare causing numerous trips to the shop for adjustments, replacements. Only peace of mind came with an eventual upgrade to Shimano 105 bottom bracket, compact crank/chainrings, and chain. Similar Products Used:
