Further to my comments on various threads I am down to just 2 contenders. Both ultegra equipped.

Specialized Tarmac Expert (sl3)

V

Pinarello FP Quattro

I can get a better deal so far on the Spesh plus it has lifetime warranty.

Pinarello has that bit more of ring to it of course but only 3 yr warranty.

I am really torn and I am impressed with both. Any feedback welcome. (but don’t bother telling me everyone has a Spesh as I know that already lol)

Seriously its going to be a great bike. I have the sworks sl3 from a couple of years ago and it is quite simply fantastic. I test rode a trek 6 series, and a top notch Merida The Spesh for me was much much more fun when you gave it some grunt. More recently I test rode the top of the line Felt which in honestly was just as good as the Specialized, but it was a lot more money too!

Hmm. Not sure how much of that is cash, but it could easily be a good set of wheels or something, or as Gav says, a nice little two-wheeled escape to the sun (missus permitting).

Heck, you could even buy a cheap mountain bike to hit the trails occasionally.

Buy the spesh.

Cash terms I guess about £600 difference.

I don’t need an mtb though. I have a modern Kona steel HT and a retro Fisher converted to ss.

Ok, still struggling here.

If I opened it up by saying there is approx.£800 difference in purchase price taking a discount plus the price of accessories being offered.

How would that influence you?

Lol. True enough.

Lol. True enough.

The canyon bikes are stunning but truth be told it really is between the spesh and pina for me.
