I know this is a Tri forum but most of us have road bikes as well...and MTBs for that matter, so I know I can get some quality info here.
I currently ride a Cannondale R1000 CADD8 road bike. It's beating me up pretty good and long rides and even more so on the Colonial Parkway here in Williamsburg (the road surface is exposed aggregate and very rough/bumpy). I'd like to cushion things out a bit and be in comfortable riding position, but not completely sacrifice performance (I know I want it all). I'm not going to race this bike but would like to know it's capable (even if I'm not) of keeping up with the pack.
Here are a few I'm thinking about:
Cannondale System Six
Cannondale Six 13
Bianchi Coast to Coast (C2C) (one of my favorites so far)
BMC SL01
Cervelo Soloist Carbon
Any thought's on these frames...and other you guys suggest?
As always your input is very appreciated!!
Thanks,
Sonny
