Specialized SL2 Owners...
I'm likely picking up a used '08 Tarmac SL2 tomorrow. Are there any markings on the frame itself indicating frame size? Thanks

Usually on the front side of the seat tube.

Usually, yes. But was looking at some SL2 photos on ebay and didn't see it there. Maybe it's small and I'm overlooking it?

If you are buying it used, they are usually removed by the end user. If it still has the SKU number, the frame size is indicated by the last 2 digits at the end of the SKU. You may have to do some measurements as I have not seen any other indicator of frame size besides the sticker.

Although it's probably unlikely, there is a "team geometry" model that differs only by head tube length. Probably better off measuring something else to be sure.

Right on--the team geometry is something I need to be aware of when I go to the LBS today. They have a "my size" SL3 frame in stock, that may go on sale this weekend.
