I'd be interested to hear your opinions post Synapse test-ride. A friend of mine rode one and absolutely hated it, he said the bike felt completely noodly and the steerer was slack enough to be a low-rider. He said descending was a joke. Having said that, he's used to racing geo.

Or probably used to what he was using generally.
It didn't look like Sagan had issues with it when he rode it.
TBF, with Endurance bike, the pro often sized down to gain similar headtube length as their race bike.

I rode a Synapse alloy disc last night. Sure it wasn't as low as my spine destroying Cervelo S2, but I need it to be a winter trainer/commuter. I liked it so much that (pending a defy advanced test ride) I'll buy it. However if you want to a bike for death-defying black ice tail whip descents, I suggest looking elsewhere.

did not feel noodly to me, and i am a fairly solid 14 stone lump.
steering did not feel too slack either
and my other half bought it for me as engagement gift
stem is down to the conical spacer, but i think that will need to be removed too.

Do cannondale's stack and reach measurements include the conical spacer?
Measured my serotta, stack including headset is 60cm, reach 38.5, so am thinking the 56cm synapse would fit me better than the 58. Currently I use 1cm spacer on the serotta, am hoping that would be the conical spacer on the cannondale.
