Ghisallo

There was no way I was touching a Synapse Feminine with a ten-foot pole. It's a boys' bike for me, as black and beautiful as possible.

I was at a race last weekend, and David LeDuc, National Champion crit racer (for, like, 30 years), actually complimented me on my ride. If it's good enough for the Old Man, it's good enough for me.

I work at a bike shop, and we just got in a silver Capo for stock. It's a decidedly nifty bike, albeit a 56 and thus far to big for me (I mean, you see how tiny my frames are). We've been pretty lazy so it's only set up as a single speed right now, but it sure is a fun errand bike. Might have to see what kind of deal Cannondale can give a loyal customer.

Shortly after I got your pm, I moved to Italy, so no Capo. My mountain bike and the Synapse are living in my training partner's basement, and hopefully getting some attention. I'm seriously considering selling my R700 while I'm here and picking up an old Colnago frame to fix or something like that. Barring disaster, I plan to spend the summer stripping down an old steel frame and building a fixie. Your bike sounds awesome, looking forward to seeing her updated.
