bonz, I've been reading all I can on them and that's the vibe I'm getting: the Roubaix is a bit more comfortable while the Synapse is more firm on good pavement. I'm far from a pro-cyclist and I do not race - I just like to ride bikes
- so maybe the Roubaix would be the best bet. All this questioning would be avoided if I could demo them, but living in a small town that unfortunately is a luxury that I don't have access to. I can get them at my LBS but only as an order, and since high-end road bikes are not very popular around here (of all the bikes you see around here 95% are mtb bikes), the owner can't afford to keep a bike like this gathering dust on the show room floor
. So here am I.
haha, I hear ya, makes life difficult when you can't try 'em out. doubt you'd be disappointed by either. they are both more comfy than a standard road bike (Allez or CAAD), so if that's what you're looking for you won't go wrong
I see you're from brazil, I travel to Sao Paulo occasionally for business, love coming there, great food!!
