If it's really nice then I'll sell my other bike and buy a second frame/crankset (SI).<BR/><BR/>15.9 lbs according to the Cannondale site for the SystemSix with SRM.<BR/><BR/>I measured the Campy (aluminum Record) crank's Q Factor - high 140s, so not as narrow as I thought. This means the SRM version of the SI, which is about the same, would be a good thing.<BR/><BR/>If I do this it'll be my first complete bike since I bought my first race bike in 1982. I realized I never bought complete bikes because they inevitably came with Shimano - and being a Campy guy for most of my life (a few Suntour years in there), Shimano bikes only meant selling off a group.<BR/><BR/>One final hurdle - I may have to go to a 170mm crank (at $2k per crankset for SRM it's not a quick decision to make) - which sort of goes along the lines of returning to my core strength, my sprint. If I can trade some leverage for some speed, it might be worth it, but we'll see. My absolute best sprints were on a 167.5 mm crank but I was fit enough to turn it over.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-53607259057404877122007-10-23T18:42:00.000-04:002007-10-23T18:42:00.000-04:00Super Six, Team Si--All Campy with that SRM cranks...Super Six, Team Si--All Campy with that SRM crankset. About 15 pounds. I want it! You're going to make me go into insane fits of bike jealousy. Unfortunately, we don't ride the same size, so I can't ride off on it while you're dragging that blower around the course, getting rid of the salt and sand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-65492360981556986872007-10-23T14:43:00.000-04:002007-10-23T14:43:00.000-04:00BTW, also must mention you're making a GREAT decis...BTW, also must mention you're making a GREAT decision to go Cannondale.<BR/><BR/>'course, I'm biased...<BR/><BR/>Be sure to let us know what you get - or as important, your decision-making process in getting it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-20082490432085477862007-10-23T14:27:00.000-04:002007-10-23T14:27:00.000-04:00Wow - really appreciate your sharing your thought ...Wow - really appreciate your sharing your thought processes/analysis.<BR/><BR/>And I thought *I* was OCD!!<BR/><BR/>But your reasoning is sound. AAMOF, I've been following your PT experiment closely and, with my recent (first!) purchase of wheels was wondering what to do when you wanna use a different set for your trainer (or in a race). So I too started thinking the PT crankset would be the way to go.<BR/><BR/>That is, if I could afford to get to that level!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for letting us live a little through your experience - Looking forward to reading more!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
