    Specailized Tarmac Comp Help

    Does anyone have any beta on this bike? I have a chance to get one. I ride specailized for mountain but I have always been a Trek guy for road.

    Great bike. I haven't had a chance to get one out for a really good ride yet but they are a very nicely finished piece. Strikes me as one that would have a really smooth ride and be easy to handle. They make eveything Trek has to offer look weak in comparison.

    I friend at the bike shop I ised to work thinks this is the best ever. He has had 3 5200's and thinks this bike is better hands down. The only reason he wants to sell his is because I need a bike and he could get the Pro.

    Great bike!
    It's a good idea to spend $100 - 150 on a good bike fit though. Have the shop tell you what bikes would be best. Some great bikes don't fit people so any technology gained can be blown in power.
    I've finally decided that there are a lot of sweet bikes out there but if I'm gonna spend that kind of money I want a sweet bike that fits me.
    Edit:
    I should note that I'm on a 1985 Baso with 6 speed Dura Ace that was given to my by my dad. I've tweaked it as much as I can and it's an ok fit, but just not perfect.

    Just let me know when. The shop I work at is just a few (80 or so) blocks from your place and we (almost) always have these in stock.
