I'm still mulling over a road bike for springtime. I'm a big fan of buying last years model at a good discount generally but the bike that's caught my eye is the Cannondale Synapse Carbon 105 (2012). Seems a strong deal to me, even if it's only 10spd and not the very latest frameset.

Can anyone see anything that should be putting me off about the bike, 54cm should be right on the button for me 5'9" and I want something for longish, comfortable rides rather than flat out racing. The Planet X RT58/Pro Carbon are on my radar but I really like the idea of the Cannonade frameset and Mavic wheels.
Any thoughts?
