Comments about cannondale SUPERSIX 5 105:
I love my super 6, PERIOD.
I have to preface this with the fact that my local bike shop in Newark (DE) fit me for the bike. WOW!!!!!! What a difference. If you are not fit for your new bike the shop you are dealing with stinks, trust me, one of the guys from the shop saying " Oh yeah, that bike fits you" does not work. Take the time, spend a bit more, in the end ( your tail and wallet) you'll be a happier biker. Not to mention you will continue to ride.
Back to the bike. I upgraded to EA 70's and it became a true rocket ship, before it was just FAST. And the ride is smooth, carbon cuts out the road chatter and one can sail along in quiet splendor.
Poor little Super 6, it made me drool over the EVO but, after seeing the EVO I'm glad I purchased the 6- 105.
It's a great bike, decent equipment.

Great carbon bike! It has 105 components so there us room to upgrade but it works very well. The seatpost is carbon covered alloy. Get a new set of wheels and this thing can compete with much more expensive bikes.

Bought this bike two months back to replace my alu-frame roadbike, I am very very happy with my purchase, the frame is amazing. This bike does everything exceptionally well, beasts climbs, glides over the flats and descends like a bobsleigh. The frame absorbs road stress like a sponge and with the BB30 bracket it has amazing power transfer....only downside is the Shimano RS10 wheels that come as standard, not a bad wheel but definately worth upgrading.

I've had this bike for a year now and can't say enough about it. The power transfer is astounding! This is a very fast bike. Everything you put into the pedals gets transferred to the road. I live in a very hilly area so that is very important to me. This bike will climb anything you throw at it beautifully. I can ride all day and still want to get back on for more. The frame absorbs road vibration wonderfully especially on "unimproved" country roads.

Comments about cannondale SUPERSIX 5 105:
Used primarily on longer group rides.
The bike handles and climbs really well and was a great deal for the money.
However, beware that this is a racing geometry (Synapse might be better for long rides). With the SuperSix you get terrific response but it can be "twitchy" which can get tiring on long rides. I found that once I slammed the stem all the way down, handling smoothed out considerably.

I average around 130 miles a week. so far over 1500 miles on bike. Absolutely Amazing. Ride quality is stunning, just finished a 70 miler, very hilly, bike is a super climber and rock solid on desecents. my max speed hit 42.5 mph. never so much as a blink or twitch. when you pedal it goes yet soaks up the roughest roads.

I've just passed the 1,000-mile mark on my Team Liquigas Colors Supersix 5 105 and it just keeps getting better and better!! I ride about 125 to 150 miles per week and I love the fact that I can spend so much time on the saddle and be continually amazed at the Supersix's responsiveness, stiffness and durability.
This bike will continue to surprise me for years to come. :-D

Comments about cannondale SUPERSIX 5 105:
I have put about 1000 miles on my supersix so far, and I am in love with this machine. It is joy to go out and ride, and I find myself spending time with the bike even when I am not riding it.
I have started commuting to work on my supersix just to be able to ride it more often. The ride is more comfortable than my car. The carbon frame takes out the harshness of even the nastiest of roads.
When I stand up and push hard up a hill I am suprised every time with the responsiveness and ease at which the bike climbs. Every bit of energy put into the pedals seem to translate to power put to the ground.
This bike has made me a better rider, and has shaved minutes off my best times.

I've had this bike for a year and a half and still every time I come back from a ride I tell my wife how much I love it. Every once in a while I take out my steel Biachi, which is fun, but there is absolutely no comparison. This bike is nimble and responsive, making it a joy to climb hills, stable on descents, and quick on acceleration. And after getting off the bike follow a 50 miler you feel like getting right back on for another. This is a fine bike.
