I bought a Cannondale Synapse last year and have enjoyed every moment on it. It is an amazing light and comfortable bike and copes well with the lumps and bumps that modern roads throw at it. No experience of the Ribble bike but suppose it comes down to budget and reviews plus personal experience.
Happy riding.

I am planning to cycle from Aldermaston to Bath in June along the Kennet and Avon canal towpath. Is this achievable in one day (leaving early) for a recreational rather than competitive cyclist? What would be a reasonably achievable speed on a mountain bike with 29" wheels?
Any advice would be appreciated.
