I have the Synapse 3 in the Blue/White. I LOVE her!! Put about 3,000 miles on the bike in 10 months and still love it but I wish I hadn't talked DH out of buying me the Synapse 2. Let us know how your first ride went.

What were the main differences in the 2 and the 3?

I just began checking out the Synapse line today, and I'm still kinda confused between all the different options. Also, the men's line of Synapse seems to have a model called the SL, but the women's line doesn't?

The guy in the shop today told me that the Synapse frames are the same for men and women...that it is just the bars/saddles/shifters that are different? Do you know anything about that? Thanks!!

I have a 2007 (or maybe Cannondale called it 2006- came outfall 2006). Mine is Shimano 105 with an Ultegra rear deraileur and MAvic Aksium wheels. The 2 has all Ultegra plus lighter Mavic wheels. The women's Synapse is the same carbon with a women's specific F'izik saddle, women's bars, short reach shifters and I belive a different geometry. Mine has a slight slope to the top tube and I don't think they would use that on mens bikes.

I believe the women have a System Six SL (carbon and aluminum) for women in the new line the introduced last month. The best Synapse last year was an all Dura Ace.
