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

Tarmac SL2 in Gloss Gold

I am looking to order a SL2 frameset later this week or next. I think I have decided on the Gloss Gold but have yet to see one built up. Anyone have any pictures of one built?

I like it! It's not the kind of thing I'd normally appreciate, but it actually looks pretty cool.

in different economic times, i think the SL2 would be getting some real serious consideration from me right now.

On the bright side, when the economy really tanks, you can sell your frameset to cash4gold.com
