What didn't work out with your Synapse and what model is it? I'm really enjoying mine but am starting to get the urge to upgrade something on it or play with the drop for a slightly more aggressive ride.
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.
