    Head first into the downstairs toilet.

    That's quite simply a stunning looking bike, and the SL3 is a lovely ride too.

    I assumed as the Roubaix is projected as a smooth long distance bike the Tarmac would feel quite harsh by comparison,
    but I demoed a SL3 Tarmac and a SL3 Roubaix back to back, over and over, and was really surprised just how good the Tarmac's ride was.

    And my god can it put the power down !

    Thanks. I thought about the red Ultremos but decided they were too boing even for me!

    I'm more concerned about the saddle not being level!

    And why the long cage rear mech?

    Saddle is tipped slightly forward merely for comfort.

    Rear mech came as part of the Focus Cayo all the mechanicals were with. Never really thought about it or replacing/upgrading it.

    All sorts of proportional wrong, it looks more like an HT MTB frame.

    Better with a smaller frameset
