From what I understand it’s basically a synapse with more tire clearance so the bb is a bit low and cable routing might not be ideal. Having said that, I’ve done CX on a trek domane and it’s made zero difference - because I’m still shit
TheArchitect-
More bb drop and a longer wheelbase makes for a less nimble but more planted ride I guess? Just need a commuter really and want to pretend this will fit the bill.

I scoured through the Topstone geometry (i'm considering buying one) and i can find essentially nothing in common with the Synapse.
If anything it's more like a CAADX with better cable routing, a sloping top tube and a bit more BB drop (although the BB height is only 3mm diff)

Any reason the Topstone wouldn't work for 'Cross?
I know nothing about bikes that ain't for tarmac only.
