Since we're about correcting misconceptions, I'll add two that came up for the synapse:
1. The skinny seatpost is awesome. So comfy. I can only imagine with the carbon post it would literally be sitting on heaven.
2. Synapse doesn't have BB30, it has BB30A... which is ever so slightly weirder in that it's a lopsided BB30. But at least it's not unique anymore, now that the Hi-Mod supersixes share it (since it's the stiffest BB out there).
