    2009 Specialized Tarmac Elite

    $900

    Size 54 Bought new in spring of 2010, I've ridden it less than 1500 miles on the street and a couple of winters on the trainer (mileage will go up, I'm still riding it). Shimano 105 group, 105 pedals. Bike is in great shape. Selling it to upgrade in the spring.

    EDIT: New price, $900. Bike has probably about 3000 miles on it now. Still in great shape. Chain and cassette were replaced in August, and the brake calipers were upgraded to brand new Shimano 105 to clear wider rims. Bar tape is now red. Still selling it to upgrade. Buy me now.

    Bump. A bit over 1500 miles now. Going up more, I'm doing the century ride at the Dempsey Challenge this weekend.

    Not even the requisite NESR low ball offer?

    Re: 2009 Specialized Tarmac Elite

    Spesh's site lists the 54 at 5'8"-5'10". With a shorter or longer stem and/or seat post with or without setback you could probably go 2 more inches either way comfortably.

    This is a smoking deal.
    Brian, carbon frame?

    Re: 2009 Specialized Tarmac Elite

    Zombie, I'm 5'9" with a 30-31 inch inseam. Fits me great. As Chipper said, a shorter or longer stem could make it fit a bit bigger or smaller.

    Yes Chip, full carbon bike. Weighs in about 20 lbs with the stock wheels and with the bottle cages and pedals that are on it.

    If you want to make it (a lot) lighter, I just picked up a nearly complete SRAM Force 20 speed groupset that could be added to the deal (obviously going to increase the cost).

    Complete except the chain, cassette, brake hoods, and some small hardware. Looks to be in great condition too.

    Hahaha yeah, I want a lot more bikes. But I really want a new road bike, and if I sell this, it might mean an upgraded component group. Or it may just mean that I get a new road bike AND a fat bike.

    Re: 2009 Specialized Tarmac Elite

    Here's a picture of the SRAM Force group that I have that could be negotiated in with the bike, or even could go separately. New bike is being ordered in the next day or two, so speak up if you want the SRAM stuff. Otherwise, it's going on the new frame.

    Bump. Price will probably go up in the spring, will DEFINITELY go up if/when I put the SRAM Force stuff on it.

    Thread closing, new ad will be up in a couple of days. The SRAM Force is 3/4 installed right now, I'll start a new FS thread with new pics and price when I get the swap finished.
