cannondale synapse 5 vs. specialized amira comp

[telebum]

Anyway. You are looking at spending a lot of money. Is there no way for you to look up Specialized dealers in other towns, call and see if they have something to test, and go do that? If you wanted, you could have your LBS order the one you wanted. Sorry. Just sounds a little extreme to me.

i dont understand what you are trying to say. I have gone to multiple specilized dealers and tried ruby and amira multiple times. is there anything else you suggested me to try?

I want something I can grow into, hence not considering the ruby. Both synapse and amira are comfy but I can also grown into any one of them as I bike more.
I dont want to end up having multiple bikes because I grow out of the older bike. Between my husband and I, we have enough skis that we both grow out of over they years. I dont want to go through the same thing with bikes.

thenks for the comments ladies. keep them coming. I can use every little advice and suggestion.
