    It's a Tarmac Expert SL.

    I know it needs pedals and still has plastic on the bars, but I probably won't be riding it for a few weeks yet (knee injury).

    The wheels will soon be swapped for Dura-Ace carbon laminates, losing about 3-400g. Will probably swap the tyres for Ultremos too. It should then be about 16lb.

    Very happy, but frustrated at not being able to ride it yet.

    Thats quite nice, tasteful paintjob too.
    Its nice to see that Speccy have mostly phased out that hunchbacked 'dog taking a s**t*' toptube look that they've had going for the last few years.
    * not my quote BTW!

    I think last year, the bike said "specialized" 9 times on each side of the bike! Now just once on the frame and once on the post.

    The toptube is still a little curved but not as much as they used to be.

    Speciaized's always look better with the DT logo as yours is, just a big non-fussy SPECIALIZED taking prominance.

    There's a small saxobank sticker on the toptube just behind the headtube, so when I'm dying my way up some yorkshire 1:4, I can look down and suddenly become a Schleck.

    Am itching to ride it though. It's just sitting there in the living room laughing at me.

    Last year I think they had Specialized on the downtube, seattube, chainstay and seatstay and fork legs!

    Nice!
    I think they have the logos everywhere so that there is always one showing no-matter what angle a picture is taken from

    Nice bike, although I really don't like the 12K carbon weave.
