Cannondale Six13 vs Caad9 5

[elin706]

Hi, my name is Evan, and I'm new to the forums and to cycling. I'm trying to compare between two Cannondales, either a 2008 Six13 6 or a 2008 Caad9 5. I'm interested mostly in performance and durability. Comfort is not as a big a deal. I'm also about 6'2, 6'3 and 160 lbs. Which bike would be better for me?

I have ridden both and prefer the CAAD 9 for a much more responsive ride....I think the six13 felt abit dull and none responsive. Dont get me wrong the six13 is a nice ride....but you wont have the snappiness that the caad frame will give you if you want to race.


Having said all this I just moved onto a system six and it is awesome...I am 6 foot 3 and it is the best big frame bike I have ridden (63cm) I have ridden...if you have the money....do yourself a favour and get one....cannondale nailed it with this concept frame!!!!
