Just Buy It
I was looking for some time to upgrade my present bike with one with disc brakes, Shimano 105 and Carbon Frame. I did the hours of research and found the Cannondale Synapse Carbon 5 that checked every box at REI. REI was great from their Customer Service to the Bike Shop in the store that took their time to answer every question and fine tune the bike and fit. The Cannondale Synapse Carbon 5 is everything that I wanted in an endurance bike. I have ridden the Synapse Carbon 5 for about 150 miles, and it is the real deal.
Fantastic Carbon Bike
Excellent ride, fast and comfortable. Looks great too.
