08 SWORKS SL2, Sram Red, Vuma Quad + other goodies.
 
If pictures would be appreciated I'll post them up tomorrows. BTW the frame is the raw color that is pretty hard to get a hold of.

I order an SL2 frame back in September.. came in a few weeks ago.. the raw color and I love it.. building it up with record group with ZG brakes.. white fizik alainte saddle, white tape.. was thinking about the Zipp VumaQuad cranks.. but price was too stiff today... I have rolf elan aero and zipp 404 wheels depending on the ride..

Post some photos... I hope to have mine built up by the end of the month..and will post photos then.

Everytime I see a Tarmac I find myself filled with buyers regret for purchasing the Roubaix!

bdcheung 05-11-08 05:39 PM

nice. What is that, a 56?

graff71884 05-11-08 07:12 PM

That is gorgeous Mike! Do the bearings for the Fulcrum crank slide right into the integrated bottom bracket? Because obviously there are no cups for that because of Specialized's new integrated BB. I have a 08 Tarmac Pro and was wondering what other crank options there were besides the Specialized it came with.

azdroptop 05-11-08 07:29 PM

Beautiful! My teammate has the black and red version and it is quite impressive in person. Head tube and bottom bracket regions make my sl look tiny!

Yeah the LBS by me just got one in last week. It looks as if Specialized is finally getting a trickle of these out the door.

Finally.

Looneytuna 05-11-08 08:37 PM

Mike that is sweet... can't wait to get mine...

everyone at my LBS that test rode an SL2 (not mine) said it was the best they have ridden...

Question...are those clinchers or tubulars you are running?...considering the GP4000's, which are clinchers, but the wheels don't seem to have a aluminum braking surface.

Reynolds carbon clinchers have a carbon braking surface.

roy5000x2 05-13-08 08:07 PM

I should have taken some pictures of my co-workers friends Felt with SRAM Red and Zipp 404s. That thing is a beast.

Asian Sensation 05-13-08 08:14 PM

never seen the raw color in person, but from the pics i can dig it, very nice color combo.

Hows she ride? does she climb like a squirrel and descend like cipo's women?

Macdad 10-27-08 07:39 AM

Sweet looking SL2! I love that color option.

aham23 10-27-08 07:46 AM
