Wow.

Was going to order the S-Works frame, just to much money. Still have not picked out wheels yet, I NEED HELP. Also got to get the S-Works Roubaix sold.

First decent tarmac posted here in quite a while. Am looking forward to seeing the finished article! 8)

By the way, that Dura Ace groupo looks beautiful!!!

william-fingerdo

I've never really been one for specializeds, but I can't argued against this build. Looking forward to seeing it all together!

Looks quality..where are you getting the wheels from?

aiwa_yamaha

Nice. I got the Pro vibe track stem on my tarmac. Love it. Just wheels upgrade now and i'll be happy.

What bottom bracket will you be using with the Dura Ace crankset on this frame?

Iamnot Wiggins

Get a move on! You posted this at the end of Feb and it's now the end of April! It doesn't take that long to build a bike.

This. I would have it built in roughly 23.5 seconds.

If that were mine the components wouldn't have even touched the floor, especially with all this nice sunshine around!

RideOnTime

Good shots.
Good spec. ...

william-fingerdo

Been busy, had to wait till after the Sea Otter. Just unboxed new wheels, bars and mount.

chrisvanderkaap

I keep checking this thread in awaitance of being gobsmacked..

william-fingerdo

The last items. Ready to go, just had to get the SPEAKER bike going.

chrisvanderkaap

OK, you did it. I'm totally gobsmacked.. by the speaker bike 8) .

I suppose your tarmac is also one for the museum?

Paul 8v

Speaker bike looks fun, does it move or is it just for sound in the workshop?

william-fingerdo

Getting closer.

andytee87

Looks like its going to be a good build! Thats a fast looking cockpit as well......shopping list is getting longer haha

jgsi

RideOnTime

william-fingerdo

Very interesting. I thought the bike would weigh less based on spec though I am no weight weenie.

The Tarmac I built in this thread is 17lb bang on with a full retail price of £3600.00 which for an s-works build is budget I think. I wonder what your set up cost in relative terms. My bike also looses a few grams when I put my open pro rims on but not much.

viewtopic.php?f=40044&t=12918252

However, I would imagine the cost of the 2lb saving in weight would be quite shocking.

Your bike is stunning however no doubt about that.
