congrats on the c60, gc3!. iirc you were lusting after a white one originally, or was that someone else?
anyway, i can't wait to see the final build.

That makes two of us. From your location I'm not sure if you've ever ridden Lost River Park (near Mathias)? But between that, a 4 mile gravel road with lots of switchbacks (avg grade 10-18%), and then the Alpine Loop Grand Fondo I'm finding that I may have the muscles but not the cadence or heart rate to handle without stopping to rest for a couple of minutes. I'm really hoping that this will help with that. Overall I find the 28 to be enough for most of my riding. The other part is now I'm using a coach who has me doing a fair bit of recovery riding, the terrain where I live is practically impossible to do that on with current gearing.

I was extremely glad I got the 11-32 when I went for my ride Sunday. I had done a fairly flat 45mi ride on Saturday then went for a ride around Shenandoah Sunday. It didn't feel too bad when I started but once I got into the extended climbs the 32 was great for when my heart rate spiked up too high. I've found the mid-cage doesn't look too bad, but that's all personal preference

I don't head out there too often and in fact this was my second ride out there. Last time I did Skyline drive out and back strarting from the north, totalling 60mi; this time we went south through the valley of the neighboring George Washington National Forest then went up Skyline drive. That 4 mile climb heading up to Skyline was one heck of a climb! Noticed on Strava that it's rated a Category 2 climb...

Shimano R170s - just got these and did a 30mi test ride. I like 'em a lot, light, stiff and really nice fit. Snug but not too snug, well ventilated and happy knees too. Think it's time to retire my old Genius 5s non-carbons.

Love the Synapse look. Though I wouldn't ride it so relaxed with handlebars above the seat though.
