bars higher than saddle?

that is exactly the bike that appeals to me, though would swap out the wheels for something more shiny like Reynolds Assault

Nice! I've been grinning like a fool on my freshly acquired 2014, non-disc ultegra hi-mod synapse for the last week. 10/10 from me as well

Had to go back to Xabi who maintains a fleet of 300 rental Cannondales and curses their factory bb installs as having no grease in them.
I'm so glad I don't work for a Cannondale reseller anymore (but do get paid to service their notorious BB), they make excellent bike, but are utterly crap prebuild.

What would you change on the build kit?

4 days into week long rental of the blinged out Synapse on Mallorca. Not doing epic miles but getting out for 3-4 hours every morning and chilling on beach in PM.
Bike definitely not for weenies but after a bit of a nervous start (oh shit the brake levers are Euro style) bombing mountain hairpins with goats appearing at random at c. 100 kg has been a joy with the hydro brakes. Tres comfortable with the super skinny seat post and fat tyres on Aksium disc wheels.
Only problem was the bb30 which was clicking horribly from day 1 and had to go back to Xabi who maintains a fleet of 300 rental Cannondales and curses their factory bb installs as having no grease in them.
10/10 can't afford to bang.
