2011 Specialized Tarmac Pro SL3

I would surely give repainting the stripe on that stem a go. Otherwise, I really do like the black with blue accents.

Awesome

Briscoelab I have 2 question for you:
if this frame have standard threaded BSA BB?
and how tall are you, because I don't know what frame size to choose, I'm 186cm 90cm inseam but have not proportional longer legs. Don't kown if I should get 56 or 58 cm?

Scored a leftover Garmin 3T stem:




Almost got the matching Rotundo Team bar with blue stripe as well, but I like the white Pro look (and the alu bar is much stiffer).


Re sizing: I am about your height and also have short legs (long torso). I went with the 56 because of the head tube height. The 58 would have the bars too high, even with a -17* stem.

The frame comes with a threaded BB.

Do you have a shot of the full bike in its latest form? Also, how do you like Stan's 340 rims?

Thanks guys! I really like how this bike is turning out. Rides great and looks killer.

I'll snap a full shot soon for the thread.

As to the 340 rims. They have been great so far! Nice and light (obviously), they are well made, and have been stiff enough for me. One thing I will add though, if you screw them up.... there isn't much chance of saving them (ie beating them on the ground to get them "good enough" like you could with a heavier DT Swiss or Mavic rim). I've taco'ed one on my CX bike during a gravel ride when I crashed into a 2' rut on a farm road. But, that might be outside the design spec for the rim

Were did you get the blue 3T stem, that is sweet!!!!

Now all you need to do is a better wrap job for the bar tape. Sorry but good wrap job for bar tape really completes the bike for me.
Other than that love the bike.

What is the weight of that build?

[Briscoelab]

With the unseasonably warm temps we've been having, I managed to get a couple rides in on the Tarmac. Thought I would post a pic I snapped of it. Sorry for the crappy cell phone shot. The late summer/fall see me riding my CX bikes and MTB a lot more than the road rig. It felt good to get out on it in the 50 deg (F!) temps we've been having lately.

I've been thinking of getting some Enve bars/seatpost/stem as of late. I've got a set of Enve wheels and I think it would look killer. Still, a lot of cash to just change the look a touch.

[tonytourist]

I think you should leave it as is, plus the Enve stem is a 6 degree and you need the 17.
Bike is looking good

[majklnajt]

Looks good!
Now all you need are some deep carbon wheels
