Hello, I've been getting into cycling this year and thinking of upgrading my bike. I currently have a cannondale topstone with road tires on it. I believe it has a alloy frame that I can tell from welds on the frame and a shimano 105 groupset.
I ride solo, with clubs and friends. My goal is to do bigger 50-100 mile rides with elevation 3k+ ft. Some things I would like are:
Carbon frame
hydraulic disc brakes
electronic shifting
12 speed
drop down bars
Budget $4.5k max
Some bikes I'm looking at are Cannondale synapse(https://www.cannondale.com/en-ca/bikes/road/endurance/synapse-carbon/synapse-carbon-2-le) and Canyon Endurance (https://www.canyon.com/en-us/road-bikes/endurance-bikes/endurace/cf/endurace-cf-7-di2/4017.html?dwvar\_4017\_pv\_rahmenfarbe=R076\_P08). Are there any other bike brands/models that I should consider?
