First impressions of the Tarmac Pro from a classic steel rider: Light, light, light. And did I mention
it's light? Extremely quick acceleration. Surprisingly compliant ride for a stiff frame, not twitchy at all over the bumps. But the most notable difference is out of the saddle - the first couple of sprints were a bit disconcerting because the rear is so light it felt like nothing was back there. But I got used to that quickly and it tracks completely stable. The bike has got to be an incredible climbing tool (no real climbs around here to try that).
All that said, this is a friggin' Specialized Tarmac Pro with Dura-Ace - not dissimilar to a TdF bike of 2007! And here I am, an old man riding gently rolling terrain at 20MPH average
Not exactly what the bike was intended for. Fun to ride for sure though.
