I am 53 years old and will be buying new bike soon. I ride about 10,000 miles per year, and my body is not getting any younger. I am ready to make the move to a more comfortable and plush-riding bike. The two bikes under consideration are the 2014 Synapse Hi-Mod and the BMC GF01.

Has anyone ridden both of these particular bikes? If so, I am interested in hearing how they are similar or different. I am trying to set up demo rides on both, but wondered if anyone has actually ridden both of these bikes?

Thanks!

There are quite a few endurance geometry bikes out there - not tying to talk you out of the BMC or Synapse but think you should consider a Trek Domane too - very plush riding.

Looks like I'm not the only one whose loosing sleep over these two bikes. Road the synapse and I liked it a lot, but it was a 56 and I need a 58, so not a real shake down. That noodle of a seatpost works as advertised. Although, I may just get the BMC site unseen 'cause it's available as a frameset where the synapse is not.
