But seriously, that is a really great bike! Give us a ride report when you get it. I just recently talked myself out of a new bike and will stick with my current lineup for a couple more years. This is my Cannondale Synapse Carbon 5 of 2010 vintage, with some modifications (mainly the wheelset):
I'm not getting the bike because it's flashy. My spine doc said I needed a better bike than the Supersix EVO that I now have -- it's not Hi-Mod. He said the Litespeed is a great bike. He said to get something like he has -- a
Trek Madone. I'm guessing his is at least the $8300 model. My pockets aren't quite that deep.
I'm still considering a Synapse
Hi-Mod but am mostly leaning toward a SuperSix
Hi-Mod. Both bikes will be in the shop in a few weeks for a test ride before deciding.
