The seat is a little uncomfortable but with my awesome bike shorts, they made all the differenced and now its fine. Im a girly girl and the pearl white on this bike makes it absolutely beautiful to look at and that much more fun to ride. As with most cannonade products, the quality is pretty cream of the crop.
The geometry of the Cannondale fits me so much better, and I find the seat to be a little more comfortable as well. The Tiagra components are fabulous, and so far. complaint is that the saddle adjustments (fore and aft, angle) are a bit sloppy (the increment screws on the Carema undersaddle were fantastic in this regard).
The Cannondale Synapse Women's Alloy 6 road bike balances comfort with speedy performance, making it well-suited for fitness training and long weekend rides.
