I reserved a 56cm s-works carbon/silver green on launch day with local LBS and I’m hearing it will be in on Friday. Yes, it’s way more bike than I need and I’d probably be similarly happy with one of the lower-tier models, but given I haven’t upgraded the road bike in 12 yrs I figured I’d go all-in for the next 12.
As to comment about ride quality I’ve seen, my 2 cents… I was able to take a Pro version out on a test ride at the end of last week. My point of reference is pretty skewed as I was comparing it to my current ride which is a circa 2008 cervelo R3 that can pretty much only clear 23c tires. Compared to that, the SL7 on stock 26c with pressure in the 80s rode like a cadillac from a compliance standpoint and didn’t give an inch in terms of responsiveness. I took it over some pretty rough streets and it soaked it all up in frankly shocking fashion. I’ve ridden older model Tarmac’s and can’t say I noticed it being harsher at all. But then I’m merely an “enthusiast” and weekend warrior type rider. Your mileage may vary…
