I got the new System Six. Love the bike. Bike press give it rave reviews all around. Liquigas riders love it. So why not just get rid of it??? I read that the difference in weight between the Super Six and System Six is around 100-150 grams. Why not phase out the Six 13???

It seems more logical that Cannondale keep the CAAD9 to continue with an all aluminum model. Keep the carbon Synapse for recreationalists, and let racers chose between the ultra high priced Super Six and suddenly economical System Six. The Six 13 offers nothing in satisfying a niche in the Cannondale line-up.

....who said cannondale is ditching the system 6?

my shop's c-dale rep informed us the front end of the super is more "compliant" than the system, and in general the frame is made to absorb more road shock than the system...as anyone may have guessed from the tiny seatstays and the trimmed down front end.

the two bikes are different, and the system isn't going anywhere.
