This is the bike that everyone, myself included believed would be the SL5 but its just called 'Tarmac' - it looks good though.

I like that. Unfortunately I bet it is out of my price range

Just Ordered one .....

Ordered one last week when I saw pictures of the bike on tour car roofs .. Bet I get it before SRAM sort out the brakes for my Venge

You two not got it yet. Slacking.

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

I've not got a date for mine yet as I'm getting S-Works frameset. I'm really not impressed with some of the component choices.
I expect it will hit retail around the time of the tour or just before.
Can't wait for the Venge replacement either, that will be interesting if they take this design process on it.

Does it come with SRAM brakes

 

[Kiwiavenger]

I would happily sell my organs to fund one! That is a sexy looking bike!

 

[SWSteve]

Disk brakes look tremendous, and there's an awfully subtle looking colour scheme available, not something I have associated with Specialized until now.

It looks absolutely gorgeous

That bike'd look nice painted bright orange!

Er.....darling, remember that money we've been saving to help the kids put a deposit down on a house, well....just you take a look at this!

Make the kids save for their own deposit - i saved for mine and never once expected my parents to do so.

Then you can buy the bike
