What a great transition happening in the bicycle industry. I agree 28 to 30 cc tires tubeless has opened huge amount of options. I love my Trek Emonda Disc . Performed flawlessly last Sunday at BWR.
After he blabbers for a while he talks about the Badass new bikes coming out.

Nigel - What an amazing coincidence. Dave Dooley claims a new hip requires a new bike. The Synapse is what I've been looking at. Thanks for the entertaining share. We don't need no stinking Mulholland down here.

Hi Karl - New hip does need a new bike. I rode 8 different bikes for my new bike that I wanted for commuting, maybe gravel, but mostly comfort/flexibility. I rode the Domane, Synapse, and the new Roubaix among others. In the end I decided for a Ti bike and accepted the extra weight since it rode so smoothly but if I had to do over again, I'd get the Roubaix. I thought it rode much smoother than either the Synapse or Domane. I did not ride the Emonda, so I don't have a comparison opinion to it but if you haven't look at the new Roubaix, I'd suggest you ride it too before buying.

Personally not a big fan of any of the endurance frames. I made that mistake with the Scott Solace. If I were to buy one of the new generation bikes today it would be a Canyon Ultimate Disc. It comes with electronic shifting and hydraulic disc for the same price I bought my Trek . Minus the electronic shifting. Go check them out. They have a brand new show room over in Carlsbad

Although by far my Emonda is the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden . Tony Jones is saying the same about his new Emonda
