We love how well Cannondale do smaller frames for women without infantilising the aesthetics – you can get your mitts on this Cannondale Synapse Women’s Sora 7 2015 in a variety of frame sizes, all with women’s specific geometry and a smaller seat post. It is also super, super chic. We love a bit of black-on-black when it comes to bicycle stylings.

This is a brilliant bike for those of you that want to take on your first century, or equally for ladies who want to lay down some raw power!
