Roughly when do they start coming out chaps? I've been told it's around about now?
If so I'm going to hold out purchasing for a little while longer.

Mid September then? Might be worth me holding off for a bit longer then!

What are you looking for? quite a few 2015 details are out now but you are unlikely to see them in bike shops in the UK for another couple of months.

Cannondale supersix Evo 105. It's £1400 currently at Epic cycles (my best local shop).
Only thing is I don't like the colour they have it in, it's black and grey.
I like nice bright colours.

I've dropped them an email to see if I can pop over Friday and have a go on one first.

That is one of best deals around, but mainly because you get a vaguely decent wheelset included in the price.

I am also looking at the SuperSix, but like you I don't like the dark coloured Evo. I shall probably go for the team coloured bike and flog all the 105 bits on EBay and replace it with my SRAM Force stuff smile

Edit: There are all ready some photos of the Cannondale and Giant 2015 bikes floating round on the net. You just need to google it to find the photos. I'm told by the shops that the Synapse will be making the move to discs and the CaadX will be going to SRAM Rival with hydraulic disc brakes. Expec base SuperSix models will also go to 105 11 speed. There are photos of all those models on the net.

The Cannondale SuperSix's weren't reduced in the sales, Cannondale actually reduced the prices them selves.

Team colours - Is that the Liquigas scheme, the green and white? I love that colour scheme.

Not quite Liquigas any more, but similar.

I've got a Supersix 105 (with some Reynolds carbon tubs) as my race bike. It may not be particularly exotic but it's a great bike, I really can't see me wanting to upgrade any time soon. Enjoy!

Details of the 2015 Cannondale lineup. http://road.cc/content/news/125931-cannondale-2015...

No word on release dates yet. My local Evans manager suggested the US get the first batch, then they bring them to Europe and then finally the UK. I'm hoping for a Synapse if I can get my mitts on one.

Don't want to start the alu vs carbon arguament, but I was going for carbon as I'd like a bit more comfort.
Had an ally bike before and it used to feel like it was trying to split me in half compared to the Planet X carbon pro that superseeded it!

The higher end models (Hi-Mod) come in the Liquigas colours, the lower end bikes just get described as 'team colours' which are ssentiall white, blue, green and usually a bit of black.

My LBS is having certain models of 2015 bikes in. Mainly Kona's so far, some of the budget hard trails and some of the Process bikes.

To be honest they have very little of anything 2014 left, so not many deals to be had at the moment.

I picked up my 2015 Trek X Cal yesterday, plenty available to order from what I saw from my LBS.

As others have said some '15 bikes will be in the shops now, usually the ones that are basically their 2014 versions with different colours or slightly different spec, the higher end ones will arrive after the shows.

However IMO if you want the best deal, it's not just when the new bikes turn up, because people are still walking into bike shops at the moment and buying bikes because of the weather and cycling is on the up anyway - if you want the best deal wait until the weather turns and get in before Xmas comes.

There are always a few 2014 bikes floating about until the end of the year, but in my experience they will be the odd sizes, IE very small or very large.

From what I've seen, winter doesn't have much of an effect on bike prices. Its a good time to get a deal on summer clothing though smile
