The quick answer is that I just never felt that comfortable on it once I brought it home. It was great when I test rode it. I had already ridden several bikes and the Synapse felt great. Once I got it home, things changed. I can't pinpoint it. I was fidgety on the handlebars, not being able to find someplace comfortable. When I was shopping last year, the Dolce was one of the first ones I rode and I guess it has always been in the back of my mind.
Yesterday's purchase was actually a downgrade. The Synapse is the aluminum frame with 105. The Dolce is the Sport model with Sora. I almost bought the Elite with Tiagra. Maybe I just wanted a red bike.




I've been eyeing new bikes more and more recently...not sure how that's going to end up yet!
