^^^I would think that going from a race geometry bike to a "plush" road bike would be a difficult thing to do. However, just starting out on one is a different matter. I have been riding for a good while and just got a Cannondale Synapse 5 105 (I am 50y/o) and I love it. My only upgrades will be new wheels from PSIMET when I can afford them. As a rider just starting out, I see no reason why he should spend Cervelo money, unless he has unlimited funds. The Synapse is a fine bike and to those who say it feels sluggish, I beg to differ.

Besides, it looks good.


Cheers,
