I had parts laying around so I figured... Yeah I guess I'll build it up. I haven't owned a Tarmac before. Since the last few bikes I've owned have been either not carbon or had a 1" head tube, the BB and HT stiffness on this is a really welcome change. I definitely don't want to stray from modern carbon frames anymore. Something about the geo makes it feel skittish while descending though? All the last few bikes were nice and stable through turns. I feel like with this I have to constantly be aware as any minute changes mid corner will drastically alter the line. Maybe I'll get used to it. Anyway, its like 6.6kg as shown. Full R9100 with Stages L/R, CLX32 with latex tubes and Vittoria Corsa 25mms.

Ok, that's nice. It looks very nicely proportioned with that stem.

Did you try the bike with other wheels? My disc equiped Addict with clx32 wheels also feels far less stable as my rim brake addict with Bora 35's. Same frame (+/-), only other wheels and discs. If you could try other wheels and report back, it would be amazing!!

I have other wheels on it now, mostly feels the same.

Stages L/R seems to work fine. Every other PM has me pegged at ~~53/47balance, while this shows me at the opposite leg being dominant, not sure why so. It also wont send data to the headunit unless both pods pick up power, so you can't do single leg drills.
