What bike?

[2ky]

I'm looking for my first serious road bike and I've narrowed it down to 2. For £1399 I can get the cube agree with Ultegra and Magic wheels or £100 more I can get the Cannondale super six with 105 (the rest of the finishing kit is a bit basic compared to the cube). I'm 80% towards the Cube but the Cannondale keeps grabbing my eye! With both bikes I get 10% store credit from my LBS so any opinions?

Cube looks nice

"Magic wheels" stupid auto correct!!

Yes the Cube seems to tick all the boxes

What discount do Evans do at this price range when you trade in an old bike?

I found the supersix very stretched so its surprising you are comparing that to the Agree and not the Synapse which is probably more of a like for like comparison. The Supersix is the better frame so I wouldnt worry about comparing components, you will probably upgrade various bits over time, long before the wear out too. If you feel comfortable on both, I'd go for the Supersix, Cannondale are very good at filtering technology is filtered down from the high end models through the range and with the Supersix you get all the benefits from the development of the hi-mod version including the speed save technology in the forks and rear triangle.

In short, its just the better bike hence why the component spec of the Cube on paper at least, looks better.

I got the Cannondale in March and I'm expecting my first upgrade next week, new wheels the originals going onto my winter bike. Apart from the frame everything gets changed eventually, I just liked the way the Cannondale rode and handled.

That's what's bugging me about the Cannondale, its more than the Cube and every review I see says its the bike you buy to upgrade!
Going for a bike fit tomorrow and then I'll decide but the Cube is just ahead of the Cannondale at the moment!

I'd probably go Cannondale

Are you dead set on carbon? The CAAD10 is the same geo as supersix but in alloy. Might be worth trying first as I suspect it's a little cheaper than supersix.
I got the caad10 105 about 18 months ago and done about 5k miles since then. Love it. Although I never rode the supersix to compare it.

I know the amount I'm spending isn't an awful lot compared to some bikes but for the amount I'm paying I almost expect to get Carbon and it's seems like a natural progression from the aluminium Cube peloton I already have!

I think the agree is a lovely looking thing.
But, if you're buying on looks, get a willier gtr. Looks ace!
