Which gives great handling and its very light due to the 290 TPI Gossamer spun casing. Expensive, but worth it. http://www.bikecyclingreviews.com/faq/Specialized_Mondo_Tires_Good_or_Bad.html Mondo tire is the best tire they make.

Big change from my 1992 Titanium litespeed with Shimano 600. Only thing I am really chaning on the bike are the rims, and the cranks (need 175mm and only 172.5mm come on the 56cm) I am test riding a 56cm Tarmac Expert on Friday.

It should arrive today. I think I'll be able to pick it up tonight or tomorrow. I'm stoked. I'm glad you liked your specialized. My sister just bought one too - I can't remember which one it is but it's a few years old but it great shape, all carbon frame/fork. Her's has a nice wheelset too with pladed spokes and all. Anyway, maybe I'll see you on the road... Yeah, I can’t wait. It should arrive today. I think I’ll be able to pick it up tonight or tomorrow. I’m stoked. I’m glad you liked your specialized.

I've got a Specialized too, and Allez Elite from a few years back. Not quite up to the same spec as yours, but still a good bike that's seen me through a lot of fun miles. Unfortunately, I mostly ride in Salt Lake Valley and occasionally northern Utah Valley, so we probably won't cross paths. :) Nice bike!
