I see these bikes in Korea and Taiwan that look like road bikes with mini-frames and maybe 20" wheels. They are for normal sized people. Haven't been able to snap a picture yet or find them in shops or on the web. Does anyone know if they have a specific name?

It is probably just a folding bike. They tend to come with 20" wheels.

Just finished swapping over everything from my old Orbea Dauphine to a Surly Pacer frame that I picked up. It will get it's first ride tomorrow.

This week I purchased a 2012 Cannondale Synapse 105 that replaced my 2010 Giant Rapid 2. I wasn't able to take for a ride until yesterday--I went out for about 20 miles around Lexington/Bedford, MA. Wow, what a difference from the Giant. I have put 105 pedals and a Garmin 200 on it--Love it!

Baj--I really like your's--I wish Cannondale made this year's Synapse 105 in black like yours--and I couldn't spend the additional money on the carbon--oh well, I really like the way it rides!

It is a wonderful bike to ride for sure. I am certainly loving mine. I like the black much better since I changed the bar tape and saddle to white.

My two babies. Trek 2.1, 3 Years old and the Cannondale CAAD10-1 got it on May 2nd. Still haven't snapped the standard BF pose because I'm waiting until I remove spacers and slam the stem and get my bottle cages.
