Whilst Cannondale may be known chiefly for their mastery of alloy frame construction (at least by us oldies) but that’s to overlook their 10+years of experience in the production of carbon fibre frames. Now in 2010 it is common knowledge that they produce some of the best and most desirable carbon frames around. The frame of the 2010 Cannondale Six Carbon 105 Compact is one of those frames, lighter than its 2009 predecessor by 100gms thanks to the continuous development cannondale are famed for.
Key features:
- Six Carbon frame
- Cannondale Six Carbon fork
- 20 Speed Shimano 105 gearing
- FSA Gossamer BB30, 34/50 crankset
- Mavic Aksium Race wheelset

What is a Road Bike?Referred to as road racing bikes, the clue is in the title here. These bikes concentrate on being light weight and reducing drag to increase speed. Thanks to their drop handlebars they have a stretched out feel, again for aerodynamics. So efficiency is the name of this game, definitely not comfort. For more information on road bikes see our
