Some valid points. The tape didn't work out with the ergo and aero top shapes. I'll give it another go however I like the bars. I'm not going to cut the rest of the steerer, it was twice as high but I want to leave some room for adjustment. Definitely a mishmash, just picked up the wheels at a swap meet. I wanted something with an alloy track. They're pretty sweet though, reasonably light and dt Swiss hubs.

Is it really one bike or two exactly the same except for color?

You should share one of your bikes here. Photobucket no longer works(unless you pay the ransom).

I still love that Tarmac! ^^^^^^^^^^^
I like the new Camo colorway they have. I would break the bank for a new S-works Tarmac SL6 in Blurple!

Hmm. I don't believe you were really going for "hot" there - totally respectable, though.
Nothing against those rims in general, but for this bike, I think you might be better served with black rims of similar profile, especially if you're going to stick with those dark modern "brifters," which are too bulky for the retro look. I do envy the stem, and chrome stays and fork, though.

They look good. Unlike a previous poster, I think the gold wheels look ok. They match the logo on the head tube.

On a good note, I just test rode and put a deposit an a 2017 Venge Expert Disc in White for only $1K more complete then just the frame would have cost.
