JuddMan Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 2013 Synaps Page 71 https://issuu.com/cannondale_europe/docs/012_can_catalog_screen_en Here is a full spec sheet: https://cycling-passion.com/cannondale-synapse-alloy-2013/ Ah this is brilliant!! super grateful for this. I must say, the frame is in exceptional condition for its age then. One concern I now have is that the FD is now Tiagra, vs the 105 it came out with? very strange... Spinnekop 1
Spinnekop Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 The Synapse is probably the most capable Cannondale ever made. It can be used very effectively for racing and endurance riding. Its very responsive and it softens the road vibrations quite a lot. The best of both worlds.Don't be shy now boet........post that beast of yours.........make em jealous!

I wonder what a 'race spec geometry' bike would then feel to me?

'Dale Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Thanks for the reply! I'm glad that by luck I ended up getting something with more relaxed geometry, as opposed to a hardcore racer. I am mainly using it for group rides etc for fitness and enjoyment factor, I am by no means a racing snake. Would be nice to start getting into races (regulations allowing) for personal accomplishment, as such I reckon the synapse frame is still a winner. I have looked at google images for models 2011+ but still cannot find a single pic which is the same colour scheme as my bike? Quite baffled actually. Reason why I really want to find the year model is for own knowledge/history, seeing what was upgraded on the bike as well as for maintenance. If Sagan can win WorldTour races on a Synapse, so can you, Cupcakes. Long Wheel Base, slickjay007 and UK-Saffa 3

I wonder what a 'race spec geometry' bike would then feel to me?As a mountain biker I was attracted to the more comfortable geometry of the Synapse quite a while ago. I asked for some advice from Spinnekop, Scalpel and other TCS crew at the time and they all agreed it was a good choice. A "few years" later I still have it. 'Dale 1
