First Ride

This baby is lite!

Whether it's QuickStep taking the podium at Tour of Flanders or Saxo Bank at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Tarmac® proves itself to be the best handling, most high-performance bike on the road, time and time again. Thanks to the integration of critical components, an extremely rigid FACT carbon frame and proprietary Body Geometry extras, we can proudly say that nothing is lighter and stiffer.

I got all the Specialized Components at http://gerksonline.com.  These guys are great.  Very knowledgeable, friendly and fast service.

The rest of the components came from my best friend at Eastside Ski & Sport: http://www.eastsideskiandsport.com
