You can easily get a carbon Synapse for less than 2K from almost any bike shop that sells them, or even REI.

True, REI has the Synapse on sale for $1700 right now not including delivery. Once you add a trainer of the equivalent functionality as the Peloton trainer, you're looking at $2500 spent. Add in a screen, and you're looking at $2700 for a small screen or $3500 for a similar-size screen as on the Peloton.

But when you decide to join your local cycling club or even get outside for a spin, you are good to go with the Cannondale ;) ... not so much with your stationary Peloton. Also, the highest priced CycleOps trainer on REI's site right now is $420. So $2120 with trainer...as for the screen, most people buying carbon road bikes and trainers probably already have a working flat-screen to spare.
