On my aluminum Synapse I always lost a lot of speed taking corners...I had no confidence on that bike. My SuperSix, on the other hand, practically steers itself through corners without my having to slow considerably (the biggest reason I have to slow is for gravel). It's amazing how differently they handle.

I'm finding it's not necessarily just the bike, but also your position. I am a lot better with corners with the new, more aggressive set-up on my bike (relaxed geometry). I still take them wide if I can, but I'm not quite as slow as I used to be.

That said, I still want a more-aggressive bike, if I can figure out the saddle issues.

Muirenn, I'd have to find somewhere to test them out. The other thing is that I'm looking at the CAAD10 because many people have said it's nearly as comfortable as the SuperSix for a lot less money.

That is true, too. I don't do downhills on the hoods, anymore...I feel too wobbly with my center of gravity up so high.

Is there any option to move spacers around and get the handlebar a bit lower? Perhaps you can drop the handlebar and put a couple of spacers on top of the handlebar?
