Mebbe, mebbe not. I have a 2013 mixed group Tiagra and lower equipped Synapse I've been upgrading to full 6800. Total for parts somewhere north of $500. RS11 wheelset is a courtesy hand me down from an upgrade to another bike. As is the 11-32 Ultegra cassette. Has turned the Synapse into a whole better bike that I actually still want to ride vice using it as a put up with back-up.
