Had a bit of a fleet swap-about over the spring, sold a few things and bought some new frames to build up.
I wanted a new 'winter' road bike, so sold my Trek 1.7 and bought a used Cannondale CAAD12 Disc in fluoro yellow. Unfortunately I wrote the frame off after just 1 ride. I ended up buying a brand new frame from Cannondale, in metallic sparkly purple and doing a new build with that. Pics don't do the colour justice, the paint is amazing in the metal. It's a pretty standard Ultegra build, has some really heavy duty (and quite heavy) CX wheels, 27mm pave tyres and a few nice bits and pieces like carbon look Keos, carbon Fizik etc. It's quite a heavy old girl though at 8.16kg, but with the discs etc it's a nice place to knock out winter miles.
My 'best bike' was a '13 Cannondale Supersix Evo 'Red'...
...I'd slowly upgraded it so that pretty much everything but the frame had been changed. I loved the colourscheme of the frame, it was a matt charcoal and black with some red highlights, but grew to not like the red parts. I considered getting it painted, but then thought it would be cheaper to just get a different frame. To that end i saw a Supersix Evo Black Inc.frame for sale. This is the flagship Cannondale roadbike frame made from nano-tech carbon. The frame is 706g, fork 285g so the whole frameset is <1kg @ 991g. To buy one, you need to buy the bike it's attached to which is >£10k. I made a very cheeky offer on an unmarked, boxed one with warranty card and had it accepted. I then built it up with the parts I'd fitted to my Supersix Evo and then sold that frame... for more than I'd bought the Black Inc for.
Build is mechanical SRAM Red, Enve 45 tubs with Continnetal Pros, Berk Lupina, Hollowgram, carbon Keo Blades with Ti axles, 3T Ltd bits and basically loads of detail scrutiny to trim grams here and there. UCI minimum weight for a pro bike is 6.8kg. This is 5.69kg.
I must get a better photo, as that one's crap. It's quite difficult to photo a matt black thing though.
Had a mountain bike swap around and cull. At the moment I just have a hardtail; a 2017 Whyte 905 to be precise. It's pretty much as it left the factory and is great at doing what it does.
...and that's it at the moment other than my BMX.
.
- just checked - mine is 9.4kg (spec on tinternet) but then it is a £500 bike with an alu frame and I am not trying to win any races on it.
