Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8

[@SmileyPapa]

Sram has a 10t rear casette, that's why the front large chainring is only a 48. Spin a 48-10 and that's roughly a 52-11 in Shimano.

Weight?

[@LKF-lz8do]

Frame size 56? How tall are you?

[@crankcyclesusa]

I’m about 5’10 and it fits perfectly for me.

[@LemuelFrancisSolitario]

Do shimano tiagra mechanical be compatible with the tarmac frame?

[@crankcyclesusa]

Unfortunately on this frame it wouldn’t work.

Only way this makes average joe any faster is making his wallet weight less by a few pounds of lost money. Not worth the price.

[@crankcyclesusa]

Yea it’s crazy expensive but it’s great how specialize offer a lot of other options for different price ranges.

[@tonyg3091]

You need neither SWorks frame nor RED groupset. Of course if money is no object, go right ahead, but to me the smartest move is to buy a non-S Works frame and build it whichever way you want it. Or just buy the Pro Version. It is a really nice bike.

@@tonyg3091 exactly, even the rich yuppie doesn't need that 15k$ bike, i can see a Tour/pro using one but average joe, nope. I get it if you the money why not.

[@crankcyclesusa]

@@tonyg3091 yea there’s some great expert models and frame option builds also. Plenty of great ways to go about it which makes it fun.
