Too scared to try it to be honest. Scared it would make the decision more difficult. Apparently a plush ride while the tarmac is both very responsive and comfortable. This is what I hear
Thing is the bike had a 110 stem on and in dropouts my knees still hit my elbows. Well I will test a 56 as well tomorrow. Want to be sure before buying. Personally I think length is just an indication. Lance was 177cm and rode a 58 (ye ye ye I am referring to the devil)
Either a tarmac pro sl4 or tarmac sl4 s works. Depends on which size fits nicest. I am 1.76m tall and have always been on a 56cm frame. Specialized suggests 54cm for my length but went for a short ride on a 54cm sl4 yesterday and it feels a bit cramped
Ok guys seems that the insurance is coming to the party. I will press the button only when the funds show in account. Pretty much made up my mind about everything except groupset. Please help me here: Option 1: Sram force 22 Option 2: Ultegra DI2 11sp Option 3: Dura ace 9000
What is your opinion on ultegra ui2 vs dura ace mechanical? The tarmac pro I am talking about is completely black with the electronic ultegra groupset. The fondriest looks pretty good as well. It is matt black and white with full dura ace (including wheels) and richy carbon handlebar and stem while the specialized has alloy specialized handlebar and stem
What would you guys consider between a specialized tarmac pro with ultegra DI2 and fondriest TF2.1 with full dura ace? The specialized is 3K more than the fondriest
Had a ckt 369 which I built up with the spec I wanted about 4 years ago. At that stage the built cost me around 46K. It had sram red, eastern ec 90 earo handlebar and various other things I preferred. Building up a bike with that spec will cost me way more now so it would be better buying a complete built of the 2013 stock at good price
What would you reckon a great price would be for the 2012 scott foil 10? I did phone city cycles. They gave me a price but to be honest I can get the 2013 foil team issue for just 3K more than what they offered the 2012 foil 10 for
If insurance agrees I will be looking at a new roadbike What do you guys suggest for around that price? I was thinking scott foil perhaps. Thought I would get a 2013 Foil 10 for a good price only to find out that they did not bring in any 2013 foil 10's. I did however get a good price so far on the foil team (slightly higher than price indication obviously). Another thought was trying a Fondriest but then I guess I would have to build 1 up which would cost a bit more than 40K Open to suggestions pls
Jeez! Are the still people like you?. Its cool though bud. Thanks for the offer but the energy is not good at this stage so the race is tainted for me. Just sold my entry to a very happy eager lady so at least I can brighten up somebody's day Thanks again
As well! If someone wants an entry they can let me know 083 321 9752 I'll be on golf course rest of the day so if you want quick response for entry just call or sms
Ok guys I am out for the race. Got a nice surprise this morning when I walked all kitted into garage just to discover that my roadbike with my brand new edge 500 (got yesterday) was stolen during the night. I am still in shock! Don't think the insurance will pay out since there was no forced entry (garage closed but backdoor not locked). Even if they pay out it is only insured for R40 000 so these days can't buy much decent for that *******!!!!
