I'm reading this thread with great interest. I've been looking at the Cannondale Synapses (know I didn't spell that right = but saw that someone on this page has it) and also have a friend that wants to sell me her Fuji Cyclecross that's not right for her (which the same person also has a Fuji CX). If I read the post right, the Fuji CX would work as a road bike by just switching out the wheelset for road? My concern would be hills as I'm not a good climber and would prefer a triple ring if possible Looking forward to hearing from you all. Your knowledge is amazing!
