Saddlesoarus said:[font=Arial]My LBS has a new 2005 Specialized Tarmac in stock. To date, my best bike ever is my Schwinn Seirra GS 700 Aluminum with Bontrager road tires and Shimano clipless. [/font]
[font=Arial]I currently run at a 14-16MPH average for up to 40 miles. Currently I sit in a more forward position but it is still fairly upright. I suspect that there will be an adjustment period. I am 210lb and 6ft. 55 y.o. but flexible and motivated. [/font]
[font=Arial]What can I expect in a normal transition? [/font]
[font=Arial]Are there any Tarmac owners out there?[/font]
[font=Arial]Thanks[/font]
[font=Arial]PS: It snowed today🙁 [/font]
Sorry about the snow dude, I truly miss the warmer temps.
Any how I was looking at this Specialized last year, the store I go to let me ride it for a while in the parking lot, I questioned his action, he said,"I know you will buy it", I ended up changing the handle bar height just a little, (They swapped parts @ no$) and I love the bike.
It can be a hard choice, don't be afraid of change, I was but find myself much more open to new suggestions.
I would wager you are making a wise choice, you sound like you are careful and not just wanting new toy.
My rich neighbor has 2 of those [font=Arial]2006 Specialized Tarmac bikes, they are too good to talk to me.[/font]
