Here's my new build: a custom titanium frame with Campagnolo Centaur components. Built it a week and a half ago, been grinning ever since...

S-Works Tarmac SL3 (2011)
upgraded from a 2012 Specialized Tarmac Comp for frame and groupset (all red)

After less than 1000km did not see a great difference,
(I did however notice a light-years-ahead difference when upgraded from Giant TCR C2 as all carbon, to the specialized one)

IN other words on my level, at this point it hard to justify the S-Works price tag
But,
Sram Red - nice
Wheels are a bit part,
using deep dish but low-end carbons, probably in the pic I will submit,
but went for the C24 9000 Dura Ace and am loving it, there is a thread I started on this topic.

I never really paid attention to them. But, now that I look closer, they're sorta uneven and ugly. I also have new pedals/shoes coming, too. So far, it's been an awesome bike. I really like the feel of the bike and can ride for miles without aches. I'm new to cycling and was worried I would get sore quickly. But, no complaints
