Just got my bike back from my LBS.

Unfortunately, I crashed a few weeks ago. Some road rash, a lightly bruised rib and a broken front wheel, shifters and handlebars. Luckily, the bike was insured. I have been thinking about going to Di2. The shifters needed to be replaced anyway, so I figured this was the time.

2019 Specialized Tarmac Expert upgraded with Di2, Roval CL50s (and after the crash the front was replaced by CLX50), Pro Vibe Aero bars, S-Works Power saddle, Dura-Ace rotors and 28mm Turbo Cottons. So happy with how it turned out!

Also I might change those white Roval logos to gloss black, i think it's kinda tacky right now.

Beautiful bike and impresive weight! But why a "MTB-style" bidon? Fidlock does have roadstyle ones too :-) (love the look and handeling of the whole idea myself so both my bikes have Money Link (stangely 2 manufactures make exactly the same product...?))

I've put around 100km with this saddle by now, it's probably one of the most comfortable saddle I've ever used. Previously owned regular power, power arc and berk lupina. I didn't get on well with regular power or power arc, berk suited me best but still get sitbone hotspot after about 3 hours. This new one simply disappeared during riding so it's a good sign but I need to ride longer period to really know how it performs. Btw, mirror shaped kinda between power and power arc, I.e. slightly more curved

Haha I didn't realized it was for MTB, but I prefer the functionality and style of this over regular road style ones, it's slightly oval shaped so maybe it's even more aero than round ones.

Thanks. I've been using a elaston pro and I simply love that thing. Never had any pain with that. But now I've moved it to my indoor bike and I'm using a berk dila (the elaston is twice the weight of the dila) but I guess I'm still adapting to it.

I kept looking at the dila and a Selle Italia slr boost which is also really lightweight. The mirror seems to be something incredible but also on the heavy side. Nonetheless, if it's pain free I guess 80gr won't kill any of my PBs.
