Bought a synapse hi mod ultegra from Paul's Cycles
Photos pls. I'd keep the medium cage on it if it means you can slam the 32t cassette in there with the road double ring if where you are going is super-climby.
Howard-
I'm just being fussy really, dislike the long cages, think they look clunky. But I can't be too fussy as I'll need to put mud guards on it etc so it's never going to be porn worthy.
Very low light photo. Still has frame protection film on etc. Need to swap out saddle and cassette and source a longer stem before she's ready to ride

Yes mate! Thanks for the info. Struggled to find a comprehensive guide online. Have got all the tools so should be good to go thanks to you.
In other news... Bought a synapse hi mod ultegra from Paul's Cycles. They sent the wrong colour and it came with a 32t cassette and medium cage mech when it was listed as 11-28. They're sending me a replacement cassette but still a bit of a ballache. Price was pretty good though so not grumbling too much. £40 for short cage mech and might keep the medium cage one, cassette and compact rings just in case I need to ride up any vertical walls into gale force headwinds
