    Hello everyone and thanks to all those who contributed in my last post, I am most grateful for that.

    I’m looking for a bike for all day riding with easier handling.

    I tried a Cannondale Super 6 and whilst I found it to be really fast it was quiet uncomfortable and very dificult to control “twichty” steering and I felt “hunched over” the distance between the handlebar and saddle too short. I guess that’s because it’s a “race” geometry. Maybe a longer wheelbase would make it easier to handle and better designed to absorb road vibration for a comfortable and more endurable time in the saddle but still highly efficient and good for hill climbing.

    I have shortlisted between the Specialized Roubaix expert, Jamis Renegade Elite and the new Cannondale CAAD12 Disk.

    Apologies if this topic has already raised before in which case I would be grateful if someone would point me to the most relevant post(s).

    kind regards

    I would scrub the CAAD12 off

    I would scrub the CAAD12 off your list, very similar geometry to the Supersix, being Ali you may even get a tiny amount more road buzz from it. With Cannondales, have a look at the synapse..
