I did notice the top tube were the same...but I thought standover height was critical? The Synapse is 32mm shorter in this regard. I had to put a longer seatpost in my hybrid for this reason.
Good point on the wheelbase though...I do have big feet and never considered that might cause problems...just something else to consider!
Before I drop $3000 I might invest in a few trips into the city to see if a few larger bike shops stock these sizes.
Thanks again.
