  • Here it is, the epic new Specialized SWORKS Tarmac SL8.
    I was lucky enough to shoot this amazing build at Specialized UK Headquarters with the guys at ‪@js_cycles‬ and it really is a special one!
    What do you think to the brand new SL8?

    I think white is one of the best colours if you are going to buy this bike.

    • @LukeMichaelJames
      @LukeMichaelJames  Před 11 měsíci

      I totally agree. I think as well that if the bike is a size 54 or below it really does look great, especially in this colour. Personally I don’t like the bulge but it’s not as bad on the smaller frames in this colour

      Note- white is generally the heaviest paint.

    Beautiful build mate! You are a very skilled mechanic.... I had one question: what kind of bleeding set are you using, especially the syringes... The ones from shimano that i have are in very bad condition and need to be replaced :( Cheers!

    • @LukeMichaelJames
      @LukeMichaelJames  Před 11 měsíci +2

      Hey Lars, just unfortunately I am not the mechanic but I will ask him what set he uses. This was not the main setup he normally uses because we were doing this build at Specialized and had to travel with a lot of tools. I will find out though when I am next with the team at J’s Cycles

    do you preffer the Colnago or Tarmac ?

    • @LukeMichaelJames
      @LukeMichaelJames  Před 11 měsíci

      I haven’t ridden the Tarmac apart from having a quick roll up the driveway of the Specialized HQ for 1 minute so I can’t really say which I prefer in terms of ride, but in general I prefer the colnago. I’m just more excited about handmade craftsmanship and Italian styling but the tarmac I have no doubt will be a great bike. Just to confirm the Tarmac isn’t my bike, this was just a build shoot. :)

      I think I agree with you dude! Still a nice piece of kit but I do prefer the 7

      Aesthetics or ride? If aesthetically, then what's the big difference? I've looked at both bikes, and it isn't easy to spot much difference.

  • @co7013
    @co7013 Před 11 měsíci +1

    I don't like that bike. The SL6 looked good and so did the SL7. But this.. Also being that lightweight makes no sense. And as Lotte Kopecky showed you can become world chain on an SL7.

      Unfortunately we weren’t allowed to touch those tools. This was shot at Specialized HQ as part of the launch but we had to bring a skeleton tool set ourselves.

      Not sure what is wrong with tubes. Most people still use them.
