05 Specialized Tarmac Comp

Hi

Just wondering if any one as this bike and would have any advise for me (and anyone else interested). I'm looking at buying one this weekend. Its super comfy and parts are good for the price i can get. Does anyone recommend NOT getting it. This will be my first real roadie as my previous is a 10 yo avanti mondo with only 5 working gears.

Any info would be awesome

cheers and ride on!!

If you do a search of the archives on advice on buying a new bike you will hear the same thing over and over again - don't get too hung up on a particular brand / model, rather decide how much you want to spend and then spend some time visiting (hopefully) more than one bike shop and see what they have to offer in your price range. Try a few different models on for size and then take it from there. You may well get a good discount on 2005 models now, but also I wouldn't ignore the possibility of buying a used bike.
