I can get a SuperSix/Rival equipped for 2500. A Synapse/Rival for 2300. I did inquire about a Lapierre Xelius FDH/ Chorus build at Colorado Cyclist, but they have not responded. If that came in around what they want for the Matrix I probably could not resist. The Denver area Cannondale dealer is peppering me with emails. They really want me to get in there and test ride. One email to the Colorado Springs Cannondale shop where I bought my 3.0 has gone unanswered. It looks like I'll be test riding Cannondale in Denver.
