2015 58cm Cannondale Synapse Hi Mod Frameset for the very acceptable price of £750
Westbrook Cycles have 3 x 58cm left at that price and may be getting others in.
Excellent price that, I love my synapse hi-mod, although would not be able to tell the difference between a standard frame and a hi-mod !Westbrook Cycles have 3 x 58cm left at that price and may be getting others in.

Other than the "High Modulus" stickers on the Fork i'm not sure there is a way!
I've spent the evening ordering up bits for it. I've got some decent wheels & a few other odds & ends but there's an Ultegra Di2 Groupset on the way now
Just ordered a compact chain set for my Tarmac for the Peaks Challenge Gold Coast event here later in the year. Currently running a 36/52 with an 11-32 cassette and this will give me a 34/50 with the 11-32 cassette.
Better safe that sorry when the event is 235km in <12hrs with over 4000m of climbing including a 2.5k section of over 18% on one of the climbs

The Mrs was complaining my old On One inbred wasn't comfortable even after I got a short stem on it and slammed the seat forward - on checking sizing she had a fair point she's 5'7" and On One say it fits 5'9" - 6'1" so got her a new frame, Chinese carbon. A Beiou it actually looks a very good frame with English threaded BB, tapered head tube includes headset etc and only £200 delivered, should build up a very light bike for the money.
