Yippee . New bike.

[Banjo]

Finally stopped dithering and bought a Canonndale Synapse 105 disc 2014 model.
Im suffering a serious cold just now but still got out this morning a few short miles including a bit of a climb. Have to say it snuck up the hill very smoothly even if I had a bit of a coughing fit after :-)

Really pleased with it so far.Very comfortable ride not at all stretched on it.

Some good buys available on these now with the 2015 105 version now in the shops.
Ive never had a compact chainset before ,sure I will get used to. I it need to remember to use the trim facility on the changers .
Need to sell my 2009 Scott Speedster 105 triple now as mrs B is making noises about bike numbers.I guess Ebay is the obvious way ?

Great news about the bike, sorry about the cold. You can always try advertising it on here, plus there's Preloved, but now Gumtree is owned by eBay I guess rates are similar.

Congrats on the new ride, nice piece of kit. I'm aiming to the out tomorrow as well even though my nose is running faster than my wheels can spin!

Nice one Banjo. And just in time to get up to speed for 2015's challenge.

Thanks for the kind commentseveryone.

I may do the metric challenge for 2015 Ian.
Didnt notice it on the ride but looking at the pic the bars look a bit nose down ?
