Morning all, so following on from my last thread. I’m in the market for a new bike. There’s some great deals about at the moment but I think i’ve finally narrowed it down to the choice of two. The Cannondale Supersix EVO 3, or the Orbea Orca M30i The supersix comes in at a little over £3000 but I…

I have been looking and come up with exactly the same two bikes, I’ve found the Supersix evo 3 for £2900 if I can stomach the neon green. And the m30i in my size for £2500, I’ve got a set of wheels already I will add to either. It seems either there has been a lot more r&d or possibly just marketin…

It’s a pain isn’t it, trouble is the reviews you find online are all mainly geared at the top end of the line for both models.

I have seen that the ss is longer and front wheel is a bit further forward, with 90mm stem I think I would r…

Indeed as far as stack and reach go for the 53 orbea or 54 cannondale it’s within a few mm so if those numbers work for you either bike will certainly fit you just fine. But yes, as far as head angle, wheelbase, BB height/drop each frame will illicit a different feel when it comes to handling. It’s …

just beware with cannondale you have to re-dish any wheels you plan on using. Great bikes but a nuisance if you have other bikes For some reason orbea has been all over my FB and insta feeds lately with nothing but warranty complaints about them denying what seem like straightforward broken frames.…
