FS. 2011 Specialized Tarmac Comp 54cm

For sale is my 2011 Specialized Tarmac Comp size 54cm.I have owned the bike since June last year and am now selling due to a lack of space. The bike has been serviced regularly and is in very good condition. All the spec is original except a brake upgrade, the brakes are Ultegra 6700 series which cost £100 and are mint. On the bike are a brand new set of Specialized Espoir Elite’s worth £50. Included with the bike are a set of red Schwalbe ultremo zx tyres. They’re not new but are great tyres for the summer.
I don’t mind shipping the bike (uk) and will charge £60 to do so.

The Course Of True Love Ever Did Run Smooth

If I come back from a ride That Way I have to go along That Road. I'm on it for less than a quarter mile but the surface is crappy. Really crappy. Rough pocked blacktop, pothole scabs, a white concrete base with layer upon layer of tarmac botched over the top leaving furrows every 15 feet or so where the original seams in the concrete were.

Thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, kerthunk, thunk, thunk, thunk. Thunk.
