Specialized will be showing off the 2011 fleet in person this weekend at a local park (sponsored by an LBS of course). I'm going to go just out of curiosity and to say I've ridden a really expensive new bike.

Why is it that the Tarmacs have an Apex, Rival, and Red group set, but no Force. I wanted the 2011 Expert, but I wanted it with SRAM. So, I would have to either buy the lower end Comp with Rival or the higher end Pro with Red. They are making things so difficult!

Probably because they realized that there is no value in Force...

The new Allez is cheaper one because of apex and two because of not having the carbon rear stays. But it now has a tapered head tube, it rides amazing and they changed the frame quite a bit. it really rides amazing.

I saw a "stealth" 2010 roubaix built up. All black, and gray, with almost no shiny metal on the frame, fork, or aero wheels. It was awesome looking. I think about finding a 2010 frame to replicate it, because the logo's were black on the carbon frame, not white like the pic above.
