Synapse vs Madone

[ACiveE]

Yaaaay! Synapse is in and adjustments have been made... handle bars switched to narrower ones and then a more feminine saddle. I'm going in tomorrow to get final fit adjustments and to take her home. I'm sooo excited!!

how's the new synapse??

It's beautiful!

... I took it out for a ~20 minute test ride with the guy I've been working with at the bike shop and then for just a short ride today but it's still quite, quite cold outside. I only have fair weather gear and I'm not sure I really want to invest in too much cold weather gear because I don't see myself riding much when it's in the 20's. Once the temperatures get up above about 55 I'll really let you know how I like it.

Beautiful!! The white bar tape is stunning. How is the Fizik saddle working out? I personally could not tolerate it.

I'm undecided. The longest ride I've done on it at this point is 45 miles...it's still wintertime around me. After that ride, my lady parts were sore but for less than a day. While it wasn't hugely comfortable, per se... I got no sore or chafing or anything of that sort. I'm new so I don't know if my type of sore was just part of being 'new'. I think I should just ride some more and if it really starts to bug me, then head to the shop and try something else.
