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…

You can get an Orbea Orca OMR (lower tier carbon) with Di2 105 for $4,299 and that includes a free custom paint job! [image] ORCA M30iTEAM 2023

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.

[image] Zebulon: I’ve never really looked at Orbea And truthfully I didn’t really either until this year. I guess partly because no team in the men’s pro peloton uses Orbea. A UCI Continental team, Euskaltel–Euskadi, does use them. I have a lbs that is an Orbea dealer and based on some brows…

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…
