Be careful for what you wish for...I went from a SuperSix some years ago to a Synapse and hated that bike on many, many levels. I regretted with all my soul getting rid of my SuperSIx, worst decision I ever made bike wise, besides buying the Synapse. I sold it in less than a year, bought an Emonda which I absolutely love and still have. I don't think mentally I was ready for the endurance geometry and still enjoyed playing in the race geometry. Flash forward 5 years and I have a completely different mindset. I was now 56, not looking to ride 20+ mph group rides and more into the, lets just go ride and enjoy the fresh air and scenery mindset. I ended up getting a Domane last year and absolutely love it and enjoy riding it.
