    I've been eyeing this bike at The Path for months now and I finally got the okay from wifey to make the purchase. I actually put together a powerpoint presentation last night on why this bike was a a good deal and why I needed a new bike. Some humor and sound financial justifications got the wife in a good mood to let me pull the trigger.

    2010 S-Works Tarmac SRAM red

    It was the last 2010 S-Works in a 56.

    Without pedals this thing weighed in at 14.6 lbs! I threw on my Ultegra SPD SL's and it tipped the scales at 15.2 lbs. Can't wait to ride the damn thing!

    Grats on the bike a sweet move on getting it at years end for the best price. It will be long time for you to stop feeling silly when you're riding it.

    Enjoy!
