New Bike!
Picked this up from the bike shop today. I'm not going to bother changing anything until meeting with the guy who fits me, so excuse the large amount of spacers. As it sits without bottle cages and the saddle bag I use it's 16 lbs. 10 oz.
The placebo effect is strong in this one...
2015 Specialized Tarmac S-Works - 54cm
Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLS Wheels with Vittoria Rubino Pro 25mm Tires
Fizik Cyrano R3 Snake Handlebar with Lizard Skins Bar Tape
Zipp Service Course SL Stem - 100mm - Beyond Black
Specialized S-Works Toupe Saddle
Shimano Ultegra 6800
- Shifters/Brake Levers
- FD and RD
- Cassette 12-25
- Brakes
- Chain
Specialized S-Works Cranks with SRAM Alloy Spider
SRAM Force 22 Compact Chainrings 50/34
Customized Stem Cap - Black - Engraved with 2 shamrocks and the inscription "A Little Farther"

Thanks for all the congrats. Fortunately, I made a ton of upgrades to my previous bike and just transferred those parts over to this bike, so I'm through with the changes for a long time.

That.
Is.
HOT.
Oh and btw, leave the spacers. It gives it a cool prototype/test mule look.
Not to mention that if you tweak your back in a few years, you'll be able to fiddle with the handlebar height.

"In a few years"...HA. That day has come and passed. My back is all jacked up, not to mention my knee. Funnily enough, the position the stem is at right now stretches me out and makes it feel better. Getting old sucks.
