  • You might be overthinking what 'appeals' to me. This isn't a fashion bike and in fact the less I like it the faster I ride it - it's a potential ultra race bike and with that in mind there's a very limited criteria...

    • One of few frames that fits
    • Flat mount disc ready
    • Di2 ready
    • Takes big rubber

    I already have BB30 bikes and don't have issues with them because I have fully sick wrench skillz.

    Two things about this bike that did cross my mind whilst having a shit earlier today were:

    1. How much does the non Hi-Mod frame cost?
    2. Those stupid all-in-one bars are useless to me, what to do? #brodouevenaerobar

    What's wrong with it?

    LOADS more in the category that will probably fit you and I am not talking race fit either.

    How much does the non Hi-Mod frame cost?

    Probably too much as they like to sell full bikes.

    Those stupid all-in-one bars are useless to me, what to do?

    Thats only for hi mod I think.

    I mean nothing really but its weird to like synapse when there are so many other bikes in this category.

    Feel free to list them and I'll let you know if they'll fit or not.

    I want either a number or a "no, it's hi-mod or the high road"

    It's not about liking the Synapse. It's about what fits and meets my requirements. I've never liked green bikes and for years actively disliked Cannondales but like I said, it fits, the 2018 version crossed my radar. The Datum was another option but it seems to be twice the price now. The Pivot Vault and the Specialized Diverge should also work but the Vault isn't that common and the Spesh uses some weird fucking wheel setup.
