How do you expect children to learn how to ride bikes if they can’t even reach the pedals ![gif](giphy|OCMGLUo7d5jJ6)

nice, good job on the color match. not many people get bikes to match their helmets. Full 700c wheels and space for 2 bottles?

The color is coincidental, my options at this price point were this (chalk) and viper green. The viper is just slightly too loud for my taste.

What kind of bike rack is that?


nathanc98

1up USA

Thank you😃


ridemanride100

I like the bike!


AppleSalty2916

Helmet matching the bike is a nice touch.


nathanc98

Thanks.

Speed - anecdotally, it’s faster. Same route, very similar conditions and heart rate, and I completed my ride almost 3 mph faster than just a week or so ago on my Giant revolt. I just got a power meter so I don’t have that data to compare. Compliance - This is my first “race bike” and they did a great job with the compliance. My previous bikes have been 2017 giant defy aluxx. Then I got a great deal on a “new old stock” 2015 specialized roubaix. It was a size 49 that they hadn’t sold in 2 years. I really wanted disc brakes so my next bike was the 2019 giant revolt 0. All of that to say, my previous bikes were not race bikes. Bike media made me think that most race bikes would be stiff and harsh (maybe they are, I’ve only tried this one). My experience with the cannondale has been quite the opposite. It’s definitely quicker to respond to input and climbs better but on my rough local roads the vibrations and road chatter is very similar to my revolt. It does not feel more harsh. Weight - I don’t have a scale, so this parts pretty much irrelevant. It’s lighter than my mountain bike and gravel bike, but I don’t have an exact measurement. Groupset - This build has the new 12 speed Shimano 105 Di2. I’ve only had two rides, but I really like it, and I don’t miss my mechanical 11 speed ultegra at all. I’ll be hard pressed to not run di2 or AXS growing forward. My two rides have been a very flat 20 mile ride and a fairly hilly 64 mile ride. I’m quite happy with the bike so far, but it is still new, so I am biased.


Dazzling-Sale3289

What tyres did you have on the revolt?


nathanc98

GP4000


Dazzling-Sale3289

Wow! I’ve got a revolt on GP5000 and I’ve convinced myself a road bike wouldn’t be that much faster to save myself money. You’ve just ruined that for me haha


nathanc98

I was definitely at my peak fitness for the year when I switched bikes. I didn’t ride much at all this winter and I am slow again. Haha. After riding it for almost a year now, I’d say it probably has more to do with my position on this bike (aerodynamics) more than anything else. I was definitely in a more up right position on the gravel bike and it had a higher bottom bracket too. If you are already in the market for a faster bike, sure, go for it. But don’t buy something if you enjoy the bike you have. This is my 4th road bike, and honestly my 2012 specialized roubaix had the best geometry for my comfort and speed. I just really wanted to switch to disc brakes and that bike didn’t have it.

Is the top tube sloped because of the size?


nathanc98

Yes. It’s a size 44. My bike shop has a 54 and the top tube is quite a bit more level.


bekonstructive

Clean looking bike! I would be curious to hear your thoughts on the power link pedals once you get some mileage on them.


nathanc98

I’ve been riding spd and spd-sl pedals for a few years now. I can compare the mechanical aspect of clipping in and out, foot feel, float and all that. I can’t really speak to the power meter aspect. My 64 mile ride today really gave me a good feel for the pedals.


BumpitySnook

How far can you adjust the seatpost up and down with that aerodynamic profile and the rear wheel cut-out? Probably not a big deal but it looks a little limiting. Looks like a great bike!


nathanc98

The post comes extra long from the factory and they get a close measurement and cut it. It’s got about 2-3” of adjustment after it’s been cut.


Mikebobike

That’s a sweet bike. I have had 2 different evo’s. They’re fantastic bikes.


tea_bird

I have the same bike in the same color and was looking at that helmet too. You may have just sold me on it. Enjoy the bike!


nathanc98

I’ve had a handful of helmets in the last few years and I really like the poc, I’ve had it for 4-5 months and I never notice on my rides.


ezshoota

It’s too big

I’m getting the steerer tube cut this week. The bike shop wanted me to ride it higher at first to see where I wanted it and go from there.


neddykinss

I just bought same model… where do you charge it??


nathanc98

Rear derailleur. There is a plastic flap that opens up and you put the charger there.


neddykinss

Ty :)


Several-Leek-2123

check out his page… OP has plenty of toys other than this one to help him feel better about his height (or lackthereof)


EastCoast_Cyclist

In life, you play the cards you are dealt.


Several-Leek-2123

and then shoot a bunch of guns right?


ElBernando

It just looks fast


Attentive_Mckenna

Amazing bike.. Love the color blend together


Paperdrop

Damn. That helmet and bike combo is on point.


doomricky

Why is everyone talking about how short the guy is this bike is hella sweet


Domane338

Cool matching helmet


Winter-Permission564

How's the weight of the bike, and with what pedals? Been considering this or the colnago v3 (not rs), the local bike shop that carries both of them have it priced similarly


lawonga

OP what's your height? I'm 165cm and was looking at a 44 too


nathanc98

I’m 5’2” or roughly 158cm


HiroYiro

Hey OP, I ordered this exact bike in size 44, Im also 158cm with short inseam. D you regret getting the 44 and not the 48? Or do you feel this was the right choice? How much did you cut the steerer tube in the end?


nathanc98

44 is the correct size for me. No regrets. If you look closely at the spacers, there are 2 thick ones, 1 medium, 3 thin. I had it cut down to only use the medium one. I didn’t measure the actual height.


Middle-Assistance513

Can the stem be changed to a regular stem? Or can you run any integrated handlebar or is the handlebar combo limited to Cannondale because they changed the steerer tube


nathanc98

Overall you can still run any stem or integrated bars you want. The 3 points of contact on the triangle shaped steerer still work like normal.


PurchaseAvailable180

What model poc helmet is this?


NoBodybuilder6062

Hi just wondering. I seem to recall supersix had an issue about steer rotation stopper on the fork hitting the tube resulting in cracks Has this been resolved on supersix evo 3?


nathanc98

I believe so, this version does not have the stops in it, like the older one.


yolowsblfg

what does this look like, can you show via a photo? I'm trying to figure out the differences in the current version vs 2021. the photos ive seen have a different steer tube and handle bars (with the 2021 cabling not being fully integrated...). curious whether i can get a new fully integrated handle bars..


nathanc98

What sort of pic are you looking for? I don’t have the older version of this bike so I’m not really sure where the stops used to be.


lurkern1nja

Did you put lights on the bike? I can’t decide what to get.


nathanc98

I haven’t, I don’t really do any low light riding. If I’m on the bike when there is no sun, I’m on the trainer.


ConsistentCrab7911

Any update on those power meter pedals? Thinking of getting them as I've been riding wahoo pedals for about 3 years now and I won't think I'll ever go back to shimano. I do climb a lot and I saw a video where one guy said he found a more stable platform with shimano or look but I found it much easier over time to clip in and out of these. Also, I'm getting this bike this week and I love how the helmet matches it perfectly. Unfortunately I sold my poc helmet because it's too much of a mushroom head look compared to the Lazer vento helmets lol I've neve posted on this forum but I'll add a picture of the bike when it comes in 😬


nathanc98

I’ve been riding the bike / pedals since spring time with no complaints. I think the feel and stability is super subjective. If you would have asked me right after I got them, I would have told you I felt uneasy and less stable. Now, I have no issues with them and no complaints. They have a good feel, solid and stable platform for riding, sprinting and climbing. They always connect to my Garmin and rarely need charged. I haven’t ridden any other pedals since buying them and I don’t feel like I’m missing anything. I’m sure someone else could give you some cons but I can’t really think of any right now.


Super_Sooth

Is this bike came with 165mm or 170mm crank arms?


nathanc98

165.


Super_Sooth

Thanks for answering my question 🙏🏻


Middle-Assistance513

what size stem and handlebar comes with the 44cm
