Synapse Hi-Mod Frame

Anyone know the weight of a 'Dale Synapse Hi-Mod frame (or even the a whole bike?) I'm deeply torn between a Defy Advanced 2 or a Synapse Hi-Mod Ultegra. Both pretty similar specs and similar price (Discounted '12 models). I'm riding a 7kg Planet x Nanolight but I'm getting too old and want a more comfy ride but I don't want to sacrifice too much weight.

Flip the stem on your Planet X?0

It's more the stiffness throught the bars and saddle. I've changed the saddle and fitted gel pads under the bar tape but it's still giving me a bashing - I ride lot of backroads which are pretty rough. I would go for bigger tyres but they won't fit. Mainly, I fancy a new bike!0

Also has anyone got experience of the seatpost on the Defy - it looks a bit harsh?0

Right, last try. I'm nearly decided on the Defy, does anyone have the advanced and know if clearance is OK for 25mm tyres?0
