I spent the past two days going to several different bike shops out of town. It was a no go for the Kuota Kult. The fit just wasn't there. Thank God that the out of town bike shop was honest. I can't state that for the other LBS who was trying to sell me the Kuota Karma that I was told fit but it didn't. Just to make a quick sell or just didn't know how to fit someone.
I also checked out the pinarello , felt, fuji and cannondale but none fit my size. I'm just 5'8 and everything was large or medium. The out of town bike shop has plenty of bikes but nothing that would fit. Or I would have left with the Kuota Kult. Nice bike to say the least!
Last I took the S-Works Tarmac out for a test ride. WOW!!! What a ride. It was by far the fastest and most responsive bike that I have ever riden on. It felt like a Lamborghini on rails only with me sitting on a saddle and not a car seat. I can state that because I've driving in a lambo thousands of times. Literally....
So tonight I will sleep on it and justify spending several thousands of dollars. The bike weights just 14 pounds. Componants are SRAM Red with the exception of the Brakes which are better than SRAM red.
It is an all around beautiful bike but more important it made me feel like I could have gone on a 100 mile race finshing in first place!!! But I'm out of shape and would have to work up to that. I mean riding the 100 miles not winning
If I make this purchase their going to throw in a computer and 15% off on all accessories! Is there anyone on this forum that owns a S-Works Tarmac?
