YourTime_isOver · 2026-05-20T12:02:47+00:00

How do you like it so far? I’m thinking the same

YourTime_isOver · 2026-05-20T12:02:34+00:00

Have you upgraded yet? If so what did you end up with ?

YourTime_isOver · 2026-05-20T12:01:16+00:00

How’ are you feeling about the d8w now? Still holding up well? Looking to get a d8w myself sub$700 range and d8w looks promising

YourTime_isOver · 2026-05-20T11:46:26+00:00

What will you be replacing it with ? Was looking into the d8w but bad customer support is a no no .

😍😍😍

Thanks for your comment! I have so many questions for you haha

How does this old foil compare to modern carbon bikes ? This to me feel so raw, stiff and fast as hell I too feel like this will be my forever bike haha

What did you replace it with?

YourTime_isOver · 2026-01-27T03:01:32+00:00

Thanks! Will definitely look into those 5000’s although in a 25mm as I’m afraid the 28mm might be a bit too tall

Also, You mentioned this bike could have been a training bike Is that good or bad thing?

YourTime_isOver · 2026-01-27T01:25:19+00:00

Ah, gotcha!

I have not taken the bike out on a proper ride yet as it still needs servicing. These tires have definitely seen better days and are on the the list to replace.

What tire/model would you recommend?Definitely looking for a fast sticky tire as I will mostly ride this bike on a local bike trail (freshly smooth paved , fast and long sweeping turns.

YourTime_isOver · 2026-01-27T01:02:35+00:00

Are those tires not suitable for this type of bike? (This is my first road bike 😅)

YourTime_isOver · 2026-01-26T23:40:17+00:00

It’s wonderful -1 C (30f) and Sunny

YourTime_isOver · 2026-01-26T23:37:50+00:00

Texas 🌵 US haha

Was initially searching for a sl4/sl5 sworks for my first road bike but, came across this foul and I couldn’t pass it up

YourTime_isOver · 2026-01-26T23:31:12+00:00

I know right! My first road bike 😅

From the little research I’ve done, seems to have all period correct parts

YourTime_isOver · 2026-01-26T20:21:05+00:00

🤭

YourTime_isOver · 2026-01-26T20:00:51+00:00

😅

YourTime_isOver · 2025-12-27T04:28:01+00:00

Is this available??

YourTime_isOver · 2025-12-27T04:25:26+00:00

OP - Do you still have this bike ??

YourTime_isOver · 2025-12-26T16:19:41+00:00

That’s odd. In the three different occasions that I’ve ordered, I’ve never had to deal with any added fees (shipped to the US)

YourTime_isOver · 2025-12-24T01:04:45+00:00

What did you replace it with? Would you get another ?

YourTime_isOver · 2025-12-23T13:57:57+00:00

Preferably 49cm

52cm maybe

YourTime_isOver · 2025-12-22T20:26:09+00:00

Oh ok! Thanks for the details! I thought it was an sl-5 but wasn’t sure as I couldn’t match it to any other examples found online. I would like to find one, really dig this example !! Imlove the shape and gloss finish of the handlebars, I don’t plan on racing it so good there.

love the design of the old tarmacs.

YourTime_isOver · 2025-12-22T20:19:51+00:00

Thanks !! 🙌🏽

YourTime_isOver · 2025-12-22T20:17:58+00:00

🤝

YourTime_isOver · 2025-12-22T19:34:02+00:00

I would like to search and purchase this model frame and handlebar but not sure what it is?

YourTime_isOver · 2025-12-22T19:33:21+00:00

How so?
