So, I didn’t want to derail this topic about the new Cannondale Supersix Evo but a post in it did make me curious. Someone suggested that this model of the new bike was in the running for the most affordable electronic groupset equipped carbon bike. Curious about what other bikes people would stick…

That is pretty neat, I’ve never really looked at Orbea and what they offer. Wouldn’t have expected a custom paint job. Helps them stand out despite the wheels and (I think?) lack of a power meter on that bike.

So this definitely isn’t the cheapest. But I would put it in the “best value” category. The Trek Emonda SL 7 Di2. The new 12 speed ultegra is amazing. The Bontrager Aeolus wheels are nice and have a life time warranty and 2 year full replacement guarantee. At $6200 it isn’t cheap but most other comp…
