I love this bike! I was actually looking at the Domane and Synapse to replace a Cervelo R3 and took the Emonda out because it was there. It was exactly what I was looking for overall, something that didn't beat you up yet still allowed you to feel the road, and light to boot! I would verify the wheel set, Trek's website shows Bontrager Race on the SL and Bontrager alloy on the S?
