S-Works Tarmac SL6 Bike Build (New Bike day!)

Built my dream bike

This was my first time to build a bike. In the past, I've bought built bikes already, not really needing to think or worry about much. But this time, I tried building it from scratch!

Sourcing out the parts proved to be quite challenging in a pandemic. Couldn't get my hands on some parts, components being overpriced, etc.

I told myself that it'll be a slow build. But the excitement got the best of me. I ended up gathering all the parts needed in less than a week! haha

Started off thinking what type of frame I wanted. S-works was always the goal! This is actually my first carbon fibre bike. The Tarmac SL6 was always a model that I knew performed really well!

Went for a full enve cockpit.
Got a Roval CLX32 wheelset, great for climbing!
Tubolito interior (lightweight baby!)
Went for an Ultegra groupset (only one I could find. and it even took a while!)
Cane Creek Brakes (it was hard finding direct mount brakes!)

Overall, I'm very happy with my new baby! A bike that weights 6.640kgs (trying to go lighter still) and will perform!
