I’ve spent the last two days scouring the internet for information, reviews, press, and discussions for the Dynamic Synergy bike. I was surprised to discover that in order to test drive the Synergy, I would have to dive in and and buy one! Although internet-only shopping for bikes may be a common practice these days, it’s been years since I’ve purchased a new bike, and I would really like to test ride it before committing $1000+. There is lots of pre-release buzz online about the Synergy, but I can’t find a single post from someone who owns and uses this bike for daily riding. Based on it’s specs, this bike appeals to me a great deal, but I would really like to hear from some folks who ride it, or something very similar (IGH, drop bars, aluminum frame), before making the purchase.

Is there anyone out there who is riding this bike?

If there’s already a site/forum out there where this bike, or something similar, has been discussed at length a link in the right direction would be very helpful!

A full chaincase would make a difference for rain, but it would make a HUGE difference in being able to keep all that road gunk off the chain in the winter with all the salt, sand, and snow on the road (like here in Minnesota). If people would complain it wouldn’t look good enough, make it optional. It would be a huge draw for me. I’d love to have one – come to think of it my problem is that there’s no bike that has an Alfine hub AND a full chaincase (the Breezer has a Nexus, and the version they sell with an Alfine has no chaincase).
