Nice bike Tarmac. What size is the frame and do you find the head tube a little short?

Thanks Shortlegs' date=' and Wisecrack.!

 

It's a 54cm. I'm 1.78m tall I find it fits me well. I had the standard bars on there at 110cm stem and felt perfect, but have changed up to a 100cm Barmac. It felt a bit low, with the head tube fairly short. I dropped my saddle height a little to accomodate and actually get nearer my recomended saddle height. I like it higher ,setup tells me to lower it...so I'm getting there slowly.

 

Absolutely love this bike, it snaps forward at any input and steers like nervous race horse...but never steps out of line.

 

I have so far blinged it with the AM classic 420's, Barmac Wedge and complete Probolt Ti/Ally bolt kit in anodised Blue. Coming soon: New Shift housing, Blue Fizik bar tape, Lightweight Tubes and Schwalbe Ultremo's for racing on.

 

It weighs 8kg on the dot with pedals and all.

 

All I want in future is Dura Ace and It's done.

Ok Here's an update:

 

With the climbing wheels - Bontrager Race X lite with Specialized Mondo Pro tires

With the deep sections - Pro RC50's with Conti GP 4000's

Updates since my last post: KCNC Seat Post, Dura Ace 7800, and the Carbon cages. Weight now is about 7.4kg With the Bontragers on, incl pedals and computer.

You really are Pathetic and Sad. I actually have to feel sorry for you. Imagine going through 60 odd pages and then making a comment such as this. Do you have nothing better to do than stalk me on the Hub. SHAME.

Velo - that track is on Delvera farm just outside Stellenbosch - a fourX track (more like for one person). VERY awesome!

It beats being so pathetic that you spend your life correcting evryones spelling because you feel so insecure about yourself........and don't forget that almost everyone of your worthless posts ends with a wink! smiley19.gif
