#savetherimbrake sparkly purple S-works tarmac SL6

(joke title) But this will be a project thread for my new tarmac SL6 frameset!

I should get this built up late Spring-early summer, and I'll be purchasing components bit by bit to build and attach them to the frame as and when they arrive (where possible) - So hopefully it will be fairly interesting!

Starting with the frameset; this is the 2019, gloss chameleon flake/satin acid red colourway - in a size 54. The paint adds a bit of weight to the frameset, but as you can see in the below link to the women's disc frameset in the same colour, it's well worth it ;)

Along with Invisframe fitted to the frameset, the frame comes in at 810 grams, the forks are 325g, the supplied proprietary seatpost is 206g; (getting geeky) the headset bearings and headset cover are 54g - So it's currently at 1395g to save you doing some maths.

This is one sexy frame

#DBAD was first, STRM just appropriated it for commercial purposes.

If disc brakes are at the forefront of development with bike manufacturers, is it that they are dead...Or that rim brakes need saving?

Any updates?

Big fan of these, they're very well thought out frames.
