Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It wasn't in perfect condition. Couple scratches from being in garage leaned up against car. Otherwise it was brand new and never rode. Paid $1600.

VERY nice rig mate. Up until recently I was running my Team colours frame with DA7800 - replaced by Ult6800.



Stem has come down a little bit since then also!



Blardy great rigs these CAAD10s - enjoy it.

That's the 2014 10-4. I would love to get one and build it up with 6800 instead of the Rival, then throw my BOYD wheels on it.

O MA GAAAA, I LOVE the black and green synapse.


@TS maybe you can help me with something. What are the difference between the two photos? Are the top the colors for the aluminium synapse while the middle are for the carbons? Or are some for the synapse 5 while the others are for synapse 6. To my understanding the frames of the synapse 6/5/4/3 are exactly the same exact in colorways.

Also, does anybody know whether or not this is possible.

Bike A came with disc brakes. Bike B came with Rim brakes. You take only the frame from Bike A and use all the components from Bike B. Or are disc braked bikes have a special designed frame.

Top ones are definitely carbon as well.

Wait so are we actually getting 6 different colors of the synapse?

Wow. Unless each color is reserved for Synapse 6/5/4/3.

Anybody have any idea whether the rim brake versions will be identical in color with their disc brake counterparts or are rim brake synapses being phased out.

I thought I read that Cannondale is phasing out rim brakes on the CAADX and maybe Synapse lines. You can still get rim brakes on CAAD10s and their carbon fiber race bikes. Are they bringing back the Supersix? I thought it went to all EVOs last year...?

I know for sure they only offer CAADX bikes for the next year with disc brakes, but I can't recall for sure what the consensus for the Synapse line is....

There are 8 different colors for the 2014 carbon synapse available. As for the ones in the picture, It looks like the ones that come with 105 will be rim brakes (the top/white and bottom/blue). The others look like ultegra and da (maybe DA Di2), which will come with discs, and disc frames are different from rim brake frames. \/

Notice the tabs at the end of the fork and in the rear triangle, which rim brake bikes do not have




I am not sure if the disc frames are drilled for rim brakes as well.....but as it stands now, frames an forks are designed for specific brakes and they are not interchangeable.

You can usually put a disc fork in a rim brake frame with no ill effects.....but remember the head tube was not designed for that much braking leverage so it may fubar something in the long run and cause you to need a new frame (stretching where the head set mounts in)
