Fantastic road bike (minus pedals) for sale at Wheelbase. Was £2099, now £1249. In size 54, 56 and 58. Have done a bit of a search around and by far the best price I could find by some way.
For the ultimate all-around race performance, the SuperSix EVO strikes the perfect balance. Its unrivaled blend of light weight, stiffness, aerodynamics and smooth-riding compliance gives you the winning edge on every part of the race course.
Looks good value... not used wheelbase before though.

I have the Mavic Aksium's on my Cube GTC bike and they are pretty good.

Very good price for the specs. Deciding on the size not so easy by mail order...

They say Ultegra and then leave out the chainset and put inferior one on? Good price though.

Shame it's not a full Ultegra group set. Although there's nothing wrong with 105. Heat

The cassette is 105 but the chainrings are cheapies by FSA

That's no big deal. It's the wheels that are the weakest link. I'm negging but it's still an awesome deal for the money. I'd definitely want to splash out on some rims if I bought one though

The chainset is not ultegra. It is cannindales own make usually.

Yep, BB30 pressfit. No idea why they still use it. The BB needs replacing frequently on my Synapse. Really puts me off an otherwise good bike

It allows a 30mm axle instead of a 24mm one so it's stiffer.
The bearings are inside the shell not external so the cranks can be closer together (think of a cowboy!)
Having the bearings inside allows the chainstays to be further apart so the tyre can be brought close and the chainstays made shorter.
The bearings are held in with circlips so you can't cross thread the frame or cut the threads wonky in the first place.
The shell is a larger diameter so it is stiffer than a conventional one.
This is why it has a cannondale crank as Shimano don't make a bb30 one, you could fit an adapter but it would negate some of the benefits (q factor, bearing sizes, etc).
I will finish by saying bb30s can be a lot of trouble if they are installed badly/dry. My boardman was really squeaky to begin with! I'd probably rather have an external bb but there are good reasons (in theory) for bb30!
