Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Could there be a more generic looking bike than the Tarmac? BTW, does anyone else think OP's screen name is sophomoric and in poor taste?

A likely story. I suspect user error.

In re. second question: some might argue that it is apposite given much of what gets posted on BF. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

Ha, sorry you lost your sense of humor somewhere along your life path and that you hate the Tarmac so much. This world has enough negativity thanks to the likes of you, I appreciate your two cents now move along and bother someone else. Have a great day!

At 265 i will stick to the stock Fulcrum rims.

I already exceed the weight specs of man & machine.

I always worry about my carbon bikes breaking, how bad was it when it happened? Did you get hurt?

Lol, I ignore him. So I see he thinks I'm one or both. Whatever, I just like bikes. It's my dog that's the poseur, look at him, he just sits back there while I do all the work getting him to the dog park.
