MeddlingKids, which bikes have you test ridden and what are your thoughts?
It's very difficult to give you useful advice, as every rider is different. One person describes a bike as being slow, another says it is twitchy.
If you study the geometry charts for the SuperSix and Synapse, the differences are subtle on paper, but potentially large once out on the road. It will depend upon your perceptions. Same for the Madone/Emonda/Domane bikes.
It is typical to swap wheels and saddles once you buy a new bike. Many riders do just that and so don't really care what is sold with the new bike.
