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

Jeep missed the crash?

Well, I was riding. Had been averaging about 27mph, so it was a pretty laid back trip. We were crossing a bridge, when a bird flew low in front of me. Right as the bird passed, a shark leapt out of the water and ate the bird. Some ninjas jumped out of the bushes to attack the shark, and I got caught in the commotion.

Because a Tarmac isn't a Tarmac once there are spacers involved. /s

My Bianchi L'una. Have since replaced water bottle cages with Bianchi celeste carbon ones. This is the only pic I have here at work, besides pics don't do her justice when the sun shines on her.

I disagree. The position is not bad, and the Tarmac is a superior frame for some uses. The bar/hood angle looks a little odd, but otherwise it's hot.

You guys are aware that the Tarmac comes with the spacers and an adjustable degree stem installed, right?

I think it's the angle of that that full side photo that makes it look odd. When I swapped from the 2010 105 stuff to Red I spent quite a while riding with no bar tape just so I could position things where they needed to be. I made adjustments as I rode and when I settled on what was good for me I wrapped the bars.
