I know nothing about road bikes but have been considering getting into it... what's the deal with this bike?
Also, is this the right size for you? I am 5'8" with a 30" inseam or maybe slightly less.

This is a Synapse 6 and not the 5, correct? Is it the compact or triple? How would it fit 6'3", 36" inseam?

Too small.
At 5'8", 30 length pants, I run a 54 Specialized and it fits me pretty spot on, although all manufacturers are a bit different. I have ridden a 56 specialized for an extended period of time and it worked just fine for the level of riding I was at. I also rode a 52 Scott at one point in time, and same thing, worked fine for my level of riding.
This seems to be a really good deal and an excellent entry level road bike or a good upgrade from an older bicycle, although I'm not familiar with the Cannondale Line.

It sounds like from what Jay says I would probably fit just right around a 54cm frame.

Close your eyes, look deep in your soul, step outside yourself and let your mind go.

Wish I had some extra cash kicking around. Maybe once I can sell this cr250.

I'f you're looking to spend a bit more, I know someone your size who may have a couple he's trying to sell. They'll be full carbon set-ups
Agreed. If you start to take it more seriously a professional fitting is a must...but this is coming from someone who rides a good amount and just had some cycling friends help fit me.
For a recreational rider of CEO's size, after a couple easy and inexpensive adjustments this bike would most likely work without a problem. Plus, if you decide to upgrade you would get your money back re-selling this.

I don't really know wtf I'm doing, I've just been considering getting into it. I don't always feel like just running.
Anyways, sorry for thread hijack.
