2018 Cannondales
The 2018s are all up on the website. They have a caad12 Dura Ace and a caad12 red etap this year.
They've also switched up the Supersix's. Some of the colors are great. Some are meh. Some component and wheel changes.

considering my budget pretty much limits me to a single bike stable, a slate (for me) was a serious contender for my next bike, but I'm still unsure about having the 1x, reckon I need a test ride huh?? was really hoping the 105 bike from '17 would still be available

There's new SuperSix models out too.
If you're eagle-eyed, you'll notice the eTap Red models (both SuperSix non-HM and CAAD12) are Quarq Prime power-meter crank arm equipped, which IMHO makes those models a screaming bargain

I was set on the caadx 105 SE but the 2017 caadx 105 was offered to me by the lbs for $350 less so i decided to go that route and put the extra towards a road wheelset chain rings and whatnot are fairly inexpensive so i figure just save the cash and maybe next season gear it to my exact desire.
My only concern is the BB30 but well see how long she goes before creaking and i'll try the locktite trick and figure if that doesnt work out just do the conversion sleeve. Still researching that stuff

I'm actually interested in the Synapse models... I like the relaxed geometry...
What do you guys think of the Synapse vs. Trek Domane ?? Any comparisons ?

Only hesitation is the 105 vs 1x debate!

Thanks for the Synapse 'plug'.
I'm going to test ride a 2017 AL Synapse 105, and a 2017 Domane ALR4, for comfort and handling comparisons.
I'm looking for an endurance geometry aluminum road bike that's comfortable and a little bit on the 'upright' side, for road bikes.
The carbons are a bit out of my price range, even the 2017 leftovers.
.
Thanks again
