A few weeks ago Spesh launched their latest stuff for 2007. We loved the 2006 version of this race bike and the latest one gets a whole host of innovative stuff, including SRAM gear components and some rather odd looking Roval wheels. No chance to ride it yet but here's the details from the press release:
S-Works Tarmac 2007 Advancements from 06:
The lightest frame/fork/crank available!
Tarmac SL AZ-1 full carbon frame
S-Works 300g full carbon fork
Adjustable Barmac handlebar
S-Works carbon crankset
S-Works Pave SL Carbon post
The 'new' main features are:
Systems approach to Bike Design - Project Tarmac
Oversize Bottom Bracket / Crank combination - Stiffest/lightest available
Handlebar - integration of stem and handlebar creates stiffest combination
Wheels - models chosen for performance
Tyres - Mondo - Fast, light, great traction in corners
Saddles - Lightest available while maintaining good bloodflow
Gearing - more appropriate for competition and high speeds
