Subject: RE: Cannondale Synapse Carbon vs. Cervelo R3?I'd just like to add a comment regarding the differences. Unless you are looking to switch to a more aggressive race geometry (R3 or S2 ), I would stick with the Synapse. Like another poster stated, the RS would be more in line, geometry-wise, with what you're currently riding. My current bike is a Carbon Synapse 3 (the women's version ). I switched to this bike from a Cervelo S2. While it was an awesome and fast bike, the S2 was just way too "racey" for me and my problematic lower back. I just couldn't handle the ultra-low, aero body position...my back is much happier on the Synapse. But...if you have no back issues, and are looking to move to something racier...the R3 is a nice choice...as is the C'Dale Super Six. |
