Decided I’m fed up with my Canyon Aeroad’s noodly front end and poor descending performance (like everything else about it) and find myself now in a position to buy my self a new frame.

This would be my ‘do it all’ bike and most likely fitted with the DA Di2 off the Canyon. I am quite happy riding in a more racy position and typical rides are 100Km+, some sportifs etc.

Currently looking at the following options (in no particular order):
Cervelo R5
Cannondale Supersix Evo HM
Colnago C59 (would like a C60, but not sure I can justify the outlay)
BMC SLR01

My choice way well come down to which one I can find a nice deal on, but would appreciate any feedback or alternative suggestions. Thanks

Personally, I would go for a C59 - probably the heaviest on your list but I love 'nag's and think they look classically stunning!

I have a CX-1 and it is a fantastic ride, climbs well, surefooted descender and lovely for all day riding - C59 can only be better.
