[makbike]

Congrats on your new frame. What components will you put on it? What color is the new frame? Hope you enjoy your new ride as much as I've enjoyed mine. Such a sweet bike!!!!! Congrats again!

A 2011 cannondale synapse...all carbon with 105. I REALLY wanted to love the orbea. The bike was fit to me and I tested them both back and forth for awhile. The Felt's never felt comfy to me. The cannondale just felt "right" for lack of better description. I liked the shifting better than the orbea (which is strange because the orbea is ultegra). Perhaps because the cannondale is a compact and the orbea i tried was a triple. I don't know. BUT I am relieved to finally have made a decision. I did upgrade the wheel set to ksyrium equipe (white) I hope that it was the right one )

Thanks everyone for your input. Now to figure out what type/color bar tape....aaaahhhh.
