Which positions the rider more upright..Synapse or Roubaix ?

Raffles

Obviously a Cannondale Synapse or Specialized Roubaix, if two of these bikes with same size frame were ridden by the same cyclist, which bike is more known for a more upright riding position, Synapse or Roubaix ?

Hearsay isnt worth much here, if somebody has tried both then those posters are best placed to respond to the original question.

Roubaix.
I ride a 56cm Roubaix, and my riding buddy rides a 56cm Synapse. Side by side, when we're both on the hoods, it looks like he's on the drops.
We've occasionally swapped bikes for a bit, and his is definately lower. Still comfortable though.

Save yourself all this heartache and worry and buy one of these Raffles

It might be that his bike dosnt fit him, i have a synapse and was too low, a bike fit, flip,of the stem, seat up and forward and its alot more comfy on the hoods, 41 degree back angle to 46.

Suggest op goes and sits on them both

He's had more bike fits than you've had chiropractor sessions.
