Found this on Craigslist and couldn't pass it up. According to my LBS it was in immaculate condition other than a rear flat. It's a 2010 Cannondale Synapse 4, all carbon fiber and SRAM Rival group set -- my first carbon bike. The fact that it's carbon worried me but apparently carbon fiber bikes have a weight limit of around 300 pounds, which I am not. The owner also included clipless pedals, clipless shimano shoes (which actually fit!), PB front and rear light, two water bottles, a seat bag, CO2 cratridges, a pump, gloves and come electrolyte tablets.

The owner is a retired gentlement who owns several motorcycles. He bought this from his friend who owned a bike shop when the Synapse was brand new so he and his girlfriend could ride together. Unfortunately they are no longer together so it has been collecting dust for the past year. He decided to sell both bikes really cheap so he could afford some limited edition Japanese helmet and other motorcycle goodies.

This Cannondale is temporary. It's amazing but just too much bike for me at the moment. My Giant is absolutely perfect for the riding I do. Maybe when I complete my first century I will reward myself with something similar, but for now it will go back on Craigslist/eBay.
