That's what I thought too, but I think he is saying that if you can get the reach and not effect handling much, then a smaller frame with higher spacers (and slammed bar) is better. Correct?

Thanks Brian. That is good to know. I had not considered your point #2 before. I thought that I had read on here that a slammed stem with the spacers bringing the pads up to height was desirable.My guess is... If the headtube is good aero shape then it will have lower drag at high yaw. At lower yaw you are better off with a large riser stack.

Thanks for all the advise folks, I do appreciate the input. I will stick with the Slice for now but I will be keeping an eye out for a well priced XL P2/3. Have a great weekend!

this is a very clean setup, and depending on how you're holding the extensions and posturing your head neck and shoulders, you're probably going to be pretty fast.

Has anyone switched from their Cannondale Slice (2016 version) to something more 'aero'? What are you thoughts? Are their real world gains to be had by going P2/3, Speed Concept etc? Budget is a factor so I would be looking at second hand. I have just had a bike fit by Dean at Fitwerx and the bike is set up as per his recommendations. I like the fit. I had a 2:32 bike split at Maine 70.3 (pre-fit) and I am looking at Ironman Lake Placid next year. I have Di2, wheels etc to switch across to something new but I am just not sure if it is worth it!
