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.
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.
