What kinda road bikes is everyone riding these days???

Why no carbon?

I don't feel like dealing with repairing or warrantying it I want something that's a little more bomb proof for when I ride it through minefields.

I just ordered a Vaya! The frame will be here tomorrow and then it's time to pick out parts!

@walter , you should get one. Won't be the first time we have the same bike

Circling back to the Synapse, I think you would be better off getting the Ultegra Mechanical and putting the extra money towards wheels.

I can understand this perspective as well. It's an (un-discounted) $1200 additional for the Di2 setup with everything else being nearly the same, save the stem, seatpost, and bars which would likely be changed anyway when fitting the bike (ok, probably not the seatpost). So Di2 sounds great, but is it $1200 additional great?

I just picked up this 2017 S-Works Tarmac SL5 from Hb in Cranford... Craig in the Madison store swapped all of my components from my Venge over and I'm loving it...

I just picked up an Alr4 Trek Checkpoint Gravel - you can run up to 700c x 45 really wide ...
Great ride so far ... Manasqusn Reservoir 3-4 tines & D&R canal twice . I like the rigid front as well.

Will you be riding that at Allaire?

No but you could - I’ve seen people on gravel there.
