Cannondale Synapse Feminine 4

[MartianDestiny]

What do you think about the Scott Contessa? My boyfriend has a Scott cr1, he lowered the saddle and helped me get on it. It feels great. Only thing I can't afford the carbon for women $3000. Would you think the aluminum one $1350 would have the same feeling?

If you like Scott look at the CR1 It's not "women's specific" but I don't think the geo is all that different from the Contessa (check me on that) and it comes in different component groups (ie: you can get it cheaper!).

It comes in XS and XXS. At 4'11" (but with a longer torso than most women) I rode the XS CR1 quite happily with a slightly shorter stem than the stock one. Really nice bike.

i loved my aluminimum 105 equipped cannondale synapse with carbon fork and carbon seatpost. no toe overlap problem and was always comfy even for 70+ mile rides. i have a carbon ruby now, but miss the feel of the road i got with the cannondale alu-carbon mix. it was defintitely more fun than the all-carbon, even though the carbon bike is lighter.. maybe i should sometimes ride that one again for a change? i am 5'2" and 47cm was great.
