I currently ride a hybrid and can comfortably do a 33 mile ride (1400+ feet) in 2 hours, but often ride 50+ mile rides on the weekend and on my days off. Should I buy the synapse instead? I plan on doing test rides on both bikes before I buy, but was wondering what the masses of CAAD cultists on here have to say about longer distances on the CAAD geometry.
Thanks in advance
I do centuries and metric centuries w/no problems on my CAAD10, but we don't have the same body. I personally find the aggressive geometry more comfortable on my sit bones. Also it's nice to be low when it's windy outside.
