I've always thought a superlight S2 would compliment a 6 speed with guards, racks and marathons quite well.

No comment.

I’ve three at the moment. In the early days, with so many options it’s hard to know which to choose. Once you’ve used one for a bit you understand which characteristics are more important to you. Funnily enough I have an M6L, a S6LX and an H6LX. Two have BWR hubs and one SRAM narrow. Both M and H have had handlebar changes/upgrades. All three have been fitted with 46 tooth front clangers. For me, even as a fairly fit cyclist, this is the only usable option with the hilly terrain I find myself in (think, Bath, Yorkshire etc). All three have had saddle and grips updates. My favourite (keep one scenario) is the H6LX with flat, wide titanium bars. This has BWR.

All things considered, how I use the bikes and what I predominantly use them for, the lightweight (X) version is far preferable.

My H6LX:

I got a 2sp, but if i would get another one i would be electic with disc brakes for those lazy days.

Yup, M1E, M3L, and M6R-X, have BWR on the M6 and standard in the M3.

They are fun and super convenient, usually use them as loaners when friends are in town.
