Must be annoying having to sell bikes associated with that disgraced druggie, Ivan Basso. It's a wonder how he managed to get back on the team. But at least their Liquigas livery is nice.
@saintdracula1 just FYI Basso was suspended for attempting to dope nobody has proof that he actually did. a lot of other athletes have NOT been suspended for doing a LOT more than what he did. Basso came clean and took his punishment like a man not like A-Valverde.
I Just got one of these (Synapse Carbon 6 Triple) and just love it!! The stem was a bit long but this thing can fly flat and up any hills. It was easy to set up and Must say it will cruise with the best of them.
Just got this bike from Helens in Mantattan Beach 2 days ago. Adding some improvements. Same livery as well. Can't wait to take her on my first trial. One difference my bike has though, the cables are conceled into the frame and are not exposed.
@D2Newmanix It's better when the cables are internally mounted because then it reduces drag. BTW, my bike was bought from the Marina Del Rey location of Helen's Cycles.
Just got one a week ago. It's a stunner. The frame really does absorb vibration and having had a Giant OCR 2 before, its like getting into a Porsche! If you're in the market for a £1500-£2000 bike there's only one bike in town!
Just got one like 2 weeks ago. This bike is the bomb! Looks great and ride smooth. She can go uphill like it's nothing (with the right gear!!). Thx God for carbon fiber!
Yeah, sorry about the bushing comment, If ya cant tell its sorda nerve racking when speaking on camera.. Bearings I know I know. Sweet ass bike no matter how ya look at it though.
I have a 2009 Hi-Mod Synapse 1 with the 7900 mechanical dura-ace... What are the frame differences between a 2010 version of this bike versus what I have?
They pretty much just carried over the model and badged it a 2010.
Sad, I already have a 2008 Synapse with NO bb30 bottom bracket. If I went and got the 2009 model I would have gotten the BB30. Gah, whatever, I need to forget about it. =\

Nice bike.
There isn't much difference between 2009-2010.
They pretty much just carried over the model and badged it a 2010.

Just have a shop press out the regular BB adaptor that is in your frame and you'll have BB30.
