Hello all,
I have been in love with road cycling for a while and have decided it’s time to treat myself to a new road bike with a better spec.
My old Trek 1.2 has served me well, but Sora group set feels a bit clunky when I ride hard. When I ride with others, I’m pretty much always the one with the most basic bike.
I have test ridden several bikes and narrowed down to two models. The Cannondale Synapse Carbon Disc or The Bianchi Oltre X-RAY.3. Models below:

I don’t commute and only ride in dry conditions, so I’m not sure if discs are necessary. However I did like the reassurance of the stopping power when I rode the Synapse.
Which is the better bike? Is the Bianchi worth the extra money?
