Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm not actually sure of the year, but it is a tarmac sl frame builtup w/ sram rival and zipp bar + stem.

~edit~ did a little research - it is a 2009 Tarmac Pro Sl

Used the REI dividend & 20% off to get the Showers Pass Double Century jacket in a nice Orange Sherbet hue. Came out to twenty something bucks. Also picked up the Pearl Izumi version of arm coolers and the thermal lite arm warmers.

I'm 6'2 and I ordered the 59. I did the Competitive Cyclist fit calculator and it recommended a 59 size frame for me. I went to three LBS to try to find this bike in 59 and test fit it. I found one store with a 57 and that was just a tad small for me. All three stores said to go with a 59. So I figured what the hell, it's $2300 (This store had the STL01 with SRAM Red gruppo for $5800). So I'll see how it fits when I get it, worst comes to worse I waste $160 round trip shipping to return it. I will most likely be buying a smaller stem since the reach will probably be a little too long.

Played it safe with an 09/10 Genius 6.6 mega from PBK. Fits exactly the same as my '04 Genius and '07 Dominators.






From PBK. Decided to let the iClic refine/prove itself for a year or so.






No friggen way I'm buying carbon.





Both in white: Easton 120mm/10d mounted, and the Ritchey 130mm/73d for options.
