2006 Cannondale Synapse. $1600 - Deal or No Deal?
I'm really thinking about getting this..
The height is about perfect for me. If i do get it, i'll go to the LBS and get fitted.
Thoughts or things i should ask the seller?
Thanks!

If it's carbon w/Ultegra it's a good deal.
A friend of mine bought a closeout carbon/105 last year for $1500, I rode it, it's a nice bike.

I ride an 08 Synapse. Perfect blend of performance and comfort. I'm actually surprised how comfortable it is for long rides. I'd think $1600 is fair for near mint shape, probably a little high for the average 06.

Ultegra is just fine. My dérailleurs, brakes & shifters are Ultegra and the stuff is just fine. Nothing wrong with that at all. The stuff is fantastic and shifts (IMHO) just as good as Dura-Ace. Unless you care about a few grams on weight savings, I think the Ultegra is a great choice.
If the bike fits and is in good shape, it sounds like a good deal to me. Go for it.
