Arrived at work to see my Supersix waiting for me.
8.2kg stock, should go well under 8kg once I've re-built it. Pics to follow!
What's a Supersix?

Argh it's a [b][i][u]ROAD BIKE[/u][/i][/b] a ROADIE is a a person riding a road bike
^ very much this!
It's a racer in my book. Road bike could be anything for road use, drop bars and it's a racer.
[i]drop bars and it's a racer. [/i]
Unless it's a touring bike.
or a cyclo cross bike.
or a fixie.

What if you dont race it? I've never raced my road bikes, but I've raced my mtb?
Anyway, back to the thread, when are you fitting the triple?
No place for that crazy logic here!
Congrats on the new bike, most jealous.
Ineterested to hear your views on it as I'm thinking about purchasing the same....
How come you get yours:) im still waiting for one of these.
You'll love it...I've had one since 2011 & it's wonderful. Super duper fast, but comfortable enough for silly long rides. Enjoy!
That is nice
Triple goes on it shortly, am considering some carbon drops from a colleague and will need to decide on that before building. I also have a new fat bike to build which will present more challenges (and home-made parts potential!!!) 😎
Fork is 440gm (350gm listed), frame about 1050gm (950gm), 58cm
Tubing on the frame is reassuringly non-huge, should be comfy.
Just rode it home.
**** me it's nice! Well impressed and chuffed!
8.1kg...SRAM Rival 22 gruppo for sale!
Glad you're happy with your new roadie, Al. Looks lovely.
Lovely bike! Pics when you're done.
How much are you after for the Sram groupset?
Cheers Jamie...hang on *pulls hair out*
Ska id need to tote it up, are you interested?
Triple goes on it shortly
Tea; check
Biscuits; check.
Aye, interested! My brothers building up a road bike so this would be ideal. Let me know 🙂

No email in your profile ska...I have put a FS thread up now.
Well here's the pic. I saved maybe 500gm on the wheels but as the bike in only 100gm lighter I lost 400gm on the rest of the build. Sram is light!

A triple?! On that frame?!
MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (How's the tea Joat? Chocolate Hob Nob I hope?).
C'mon Al. Get a compact on there at the very least. That's worse than bar ends on a riser bar, or spokey dokeys on a set of deep section carbon wheels.
And no better than a compact double setup with a wide range cassette in terms of gear inches.
Still, at least it distracts the eye from what appears to be a small suitcase under the saddle.
Lovely bike otherwise. Nice colour. Never heard a bad word said about one.

Apart from the above obviously, but you can't lay that one on Cannondale - not sure that they spec a triple or luggage in their Supersix catalogue.
I reckon you can save at least 400g by chopping the steerer to an appropriate length and cutting the tags off.
