Cannondale Synapse

“2016 Cannondale Synapse Disc Ultegra — the most-ridden bike in the garage with over 21,000 km on the clock. Purchased new in June 2016, back when hydraulic disc brakes on a road bike still raised eyebrows. Built on a BallisTec Carbon frame with Cannondale's SAVE PLUS fork, it remains as comfortable on long days as it was on day one. The original Shimano Ultegra 6800 2x11 groupset is still going strong, paired with a Cannondale HollowGram Si crankset and SpideRing chainrings. Braking is handled by Shimano R685 hydraulic calipers with J03A resin pads. The biggest transformation came with the upgrade to Vision SC 40 Disc carbon wheels, which gave the bike a noticeably sharper feel. Power data is provided by Garmin Rally RS200 dual-sided pedals, picked up on Marktplaats. The tires were recently switched to Pirelli Cinturato VELO TLR 28mm running tubeless with Dynamic Barkeeper Pro sealant, and the cockpit is wrapped in Lizard Skins DSP V2 bar tape. The Rondje IJsselmeer remains the standout ride on this bike, but it has racked up hundreds of rides since. Still the first bike off the wall for any serious road outing.”
