Specialized Tarmac

[Andrew_P]

Those Tarmac seem to have a long head tube? Are they all big frames? @2pies I think your bars could do with leveling a little bit and the levers coming up a bit?

Anyway get those Tarmac slammed! Not my bike btw!!

My son rides a Tarmac SL4 and I ride a Roubaix SL4. The Roubaix is definitely more comfortable on long-distance rides than the Tarmac but that's more to the position than the ride quality. Compared to the Tarmac the Roubaix is more upright and consequently a little less rewarding when you put in an effort. The ride feel is similar to be honest, both are very smooth bikes especially if you fit them with a quality tyre like a Veloflex Open Corsa or the Vittoria equivalent and some latex inners, run at about 90 lbs. Specialized bikes have a flip-flop stem and clever eccentric shim, which gives you quite a lot of adjustment to the bar height. For next Sunday's Cheshire 100 I will be flipping my shim to get a slightly more upright position.

Conti Sport - yet to have a puncture in 1500 miles

So far, it's you and I who have our Tarmac - there are none other currently on the road (and by the road, I mean this forum haha)
