Drop bar bike trends

Have you ridden it for longer distances? I was considering using the Waltworks which has similar geo as your SEM. But I have a Jones bar on it now which seems to be a good combo
Nope, right now it's a ride to the park with the wife type of bike. I can't even use it to walk the dog, for some reason the drop bars or the orange color of the frame freak her out, but she tolerates the black Kona...go figure.
 
Here’s the pics.

I rode a synapse from 2011-2016 and it was in the endurance category then, you can go plenty fast on it and be more comfortable. That being said, the evo is a rocketship compared to it and just and comfortable.

The versatility of tire size if nice but ask yourself if will actually use it. Unless you are planning to go on singletrack the majority of the time, anything above 32 is overkill, 2.2 to ride gravel roads in the area you ride, overkill.
