Kind of new to biking. Bought a Cannondale 2007 Synapse (it's aluminum w/carbon fork...don't know the exact model) last year...had 20 year layoff from biking. Getting into good shape and looking at new bikes. I'm 45 so it's all relative!
Some guys/gals in the bike club are telling me that's it's a good bike - maybe just upgrade the wheels. It has the 105 equipment and that seems to work fairly well. Others saying go carbon.
Was looking at a Scott carbon rig but realize that I still have to pay my dues (it's the engine first, bike second, right?). Might be able to scrape up the $$$ for a nicer bike but don't have unlimited funds.
Any suggestions?
