HI

I'm a tiny wee bit interested in the S-Works Tarmac (http://www.specializedconceptstore.co.uk/s-works-tarmac/33204/s-workstarmac) but unsure about the sizing compared to my current bike, currently riding a Cube Super HPC Pro (Size 60) and I'm 6ft with a 34in inseam. I will fully be into racing next year after taking part in a couple this year.

Some of the Tarmac Geometry for sizes 56 & 58cm (current bike in brackets)
Chain Stay Length - 405mm 407mm (406mm)
Head Tube Length - 160mm 190mm (185mm)
Reach - 395mm 402mm (392mm)
Seat Tube Length - 501mm 522mm (508mm)
Stack - 564mm 591mm (582mm)
Top Tube Length - 565mm 582mm (570mm)
Wheel Base - 986mm 1003mm (998mm)

I know looking at the geometry isn't an exact science but just looking to get an idea and I would be getting a fitting done after.

Cheers

    Best bet - go to a store, get sized up and then go from there

    I think the Tarmac shares geometry with the Allez still - it certainly did in 2011 - so you can always try that for sizing ... I'm a bit shorter than you and ride a 56 with a 100mm stem
