Is this an invitation? If so....I'm on my way!
😅
Guys, take it easy...😅

Woah woah woah wat ta hel
Just chipping in to say don't stress the hair dude, you are looking sharp no matter what. I know your younger self would be proud of the life you have built for yourself. Embrace getting older and being the best you can be at every step along the way.
Thanks Kevin! Love you bruh!
@@PatrickLinoKeep the beard, shave the head. I haven't done the science but I'm pretty sure the beard + shaved head is at least a 10 watt savings! 🚲😂

It's amazing how far this channel has come over the years. What are your thoughts on the SL8?
I am contrarian in general so I am not a fan of the sworks. It's good but there are frames I will take before sworks Nice records highlighted there
@@timb15 What frames would you take before the SL8? And why?
I have been anti specialized for their marketing claims. I have owned and ridden numerous bikes including BMC Racemachine, BMC Teammachine, Pinarello Dogma F8, BMC Teammachine SLR_01, Bastion Road and the most recent bike is the S works SL8. I think if anyone I would have some creditability in saying that SL8 is the fastest and lightest road disc bike I have ridden, it is not as fast as all out aerobikes but it is lighter and more comfortable. I work bloody hard my career so I like to spoil myself with my bikes. I would say specialized Tarmac SL8 would set the benchmark for all modern road disc bikes.
I am confident that you would enjoy your SL8. On a second note, how do you find your CRW 5060 wheels? I probably would get them based on your reply!
My favourite thing about the SL8 is that it allowed me to get the SL7 at 40% discount 😊 Couldn't agree more about going for the 10r version rather than the sworks version which is the most expensive way to save ~100 grams!
@@claudiolima224 I thought about this too. Especially trying to get an SWorks SL7 on sale. But I think the SL8 will be better for "view." Yep I just said that 😭
So good to see someone with some sense and getting this over the S-Works... 100g for 2k is ridiculous.
Just go pee pee before the morning ride lol
Looking forward to the ride review. Growth is a good thing.. congrats
I wish my hair had growth too.
Thay is absolutely incredible! Looking forward to seeing how this frame stacks up, given it is widely used as a baseline to which everything else is compared. Hope you have a lot of fun testing this out!
Sad thing is after this build, I don't know what direction to go next. All downhill from here haha
Hot frame man. Excited to see and hear about the build up super bike 🤌
We will see if it lives up the hype!
Your perspective of how this compares to the Allez and some of the recent Chinese builds you've done is something I really look forward to.
Oh, and it may be time for the Schick Extreme 3... I am jhst sayin'😒
I'm really keen to see how responsive this is compared to the Allez Sprint. Will this be as stiff despite weighing like 700g less!
@@PatrickLino I am going to say that it will not be as stiff, BUT... let's see your findings👍🏾
Patty don't worry about the hair, the circle of life is a beautiful thing. Congrats on picking up the SL8.
I just picked up an SPCycles R065, waiting on a couple of parts to complete the build now. You been keeping your eye on any gravel framesets recently?
Cheers buddy!
I have a really nice Yoeleo G21 gravel bike that I built and reviewed. However, I haven't ridden gravel in almost two years. Hoping to get back into it this summer.
I’m all about throwing some decals/sticker on a build. I think the blue kinda blank canvas will be dope once you throw some color on there. Looking forward to the full build, 🙂
#RobbArmstrong
Thanks bro, stay tuned! #pattarmstrong
can't wait to see your personalized updates to this. i have the same frame but in 54. i really wish EXS would get the Aerover back in stock!
Ive been waiting for a 380/140 cockpit for a month LoL
My favorite cycling channel. Especially since you're local to me so I can relate to a lot!
Love you!
Congratulations, enjoy to the fullest... Cant wait for the build and ride impression.
Folks keep saying how comfy the frame is. We shall see!
I use to have waves spinning on theses cats hahaha!!! love it
😭😭
0:01 - I have the same! Once I became an old fa*t I got a Tarmac SL7. SL8 is taking whole this experience to another level 😆😆
Balding, Tarmac SL8....im turning into a total FRED!
@@PatrickLino If there is something that makes us happy... let's take this chance 👍👍
@@Jarek. AGREED!
I have the same frameset and colour, just check the front wheel alignment in the fork. I'm currently waiting for Specialized to replace my fork under warranty .
Will do thank you!
It’s a fantastic bike and colour , looking forward to see your build.
I have the exact frame and size. Harder to get than an S-works. Built up with full Dura Ace, 54x11. 11x34 in the rear. Carbon Ti rotors. 9 Velo CD45 2.0 wheels set. Roval Rapid cockpit, with a splash of Ti bolts throughout. Weighing in a 15.01 lbs. or 6.81 kilo. Zero complaints, and I'm only a cat 2 racer. Save the money from the S-works and buy top shelf parts.
TELL ME MORE about he Carbon Ti rotors and where you got the Ti bolts!
Are those Ti rotors better than DA?
@@thedronescene7474 Haven't had any warping or rubbing issues and one of the lightest in the business.
J’adore ta chaîne ! J’ai un sworks sl7 (ce n’est pas trop répandu là où j’habite en France) et c’est une vraie merveille à rouler! Mon amis a un sl8 pro et c’est vraiment deux vélos qui se ressemble en terme de performance je suis certain que tu vas adorer!
Thank you! I am excited to build the frame.
Happy for you bro!!! Can’t wait to see what you think of it! Cheers!
Yesssir
I think ultimately you've earned it. Q? I wonder is an SWORKS a benchmark in design or popularity through marketing? I'm not a hater, but I totalling get why some just don't want to follow a crowd, etc.
D. All of the Above haha
Best colour for the SL8 pro frame set, in my opinion. And for sure, if you get to ride it in the dark it's 'gonna make this a night to remember.....'
I see what you did there...
Sweet. Will be curious to hear your thoughts on comparing the winspace, VB & SL8, using the same wheels. I agree that the shape of the frame and the colour scheme is not overly exciting. i guess they really want their sworks lineup to shine.
"i guess they really want their sworks lineup to shine." - I have sneaky suspicion about that too. So I've already ridden the SL8 over 100 miles, including an 80 miler this past Sunday. All I can say so far is it's not looking for the other bikes currently in rotation.
@@PatrickLino I think you missed a crucial word in your sentence somewhere :p
@@pierrex3226 🤣🤣🤣
Shout out from a fellow bike builder. Keeping it 100%, the Shalamar jacket drove me to comment :)
Yo Shalamar got a new girl! haha
Very excited for you to compare it with the Winspace agile
Was supposed to get an Agile last month. That did not happen LoL
Love the unboxing, but special shout out for the Shalamar album - fire 🔥
I had a crush on Jody Watley during her solo career LoL
SL8 frame is too light. Velobuild for the win 🤣
Hey my VeloBuild 268 is only 200g heavier than this!
I am here for the double entendres! OPTIMAL!
Hahahahaa optimal entendres!
Awesome! New bike day is always a good day!
Stay tuned!
I have to admit I was tempted by a SL8 frame. I think if they had better color options for the frameset I might have actually been swayed.
I'm 100% convinced Specialized intentionally offer very few and crappy color options for the non-Sworks versions, just to persuade customers to spend an additional $2000 for more classic options in the S-Works variants. Cheeky move by them. Like...we can't even get a basic solid black or all white frame!?
@@PatrickLino I think with the regular SL8 it's more to drive people to buy full builds since those have better color schemes compared to the frameset offering
@@BrianMcDonald That too haha
Ohh….looking forever to the decals! Good idea 👍
Coming this week, then I can start the build!
Patrick, can you link to the SL8 spacers from the UK you mentioned in your unboxing video?
The UK company is called Raceware Direct
Thanks! Ordered one.
@@KenGreene-cu9ec You've just been INFLUENCED.
with this ring I’ll show you that there ain’t no maybe. Shalamar my jam! 💯
THIS DUDE GETS IT!
I’m here silently watching you grow keep up the good work 👊🏿
Means a lot, thanks bruh.
Congratulations on the frame. Love that the channel is continuing to grow. Don't stress the hair. Remember, MJ didn't.
If I could be like MIKE!
Hi Patty, is there going to be the ultimate Ultegra VS Force debate?! I wish it's going to be spicy ✌️🤤
Once I get this frame built, you best believe I will be speaking on that debate haha.
hope you do some elves frameset review!
Which frame would you like to see?
@@PatrickLino Elves Falath Evo! Would love to hear your insights about it!
The buttsniffer hahahaha. Good review as ever with a pinch of salt.
Hahaha thanks for watching!
@@PatrickLino Since I’ve crashed my SW SL6 (6.85kg) I’ve built up a second hand SW SL7 frameset (6.9kg). Sharp bike 👍
Dannnnmmmmm from velobuild to SL8 😳
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
@@PatrickLino indeed, 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Congrats man!!!!
Thank you!
It’s all about the name not the weight saving.
Think so?
I just come here for the music recommendations
How did I do this time?
@@PatrickLino I love me some Ahmad Jamal. Shalamar was a new one to me. It's great 👍
That frame is plenty light for flat Chicago.
Trying to keep up with these crit boyz
I LOVE my sl8. I came from a roubaix and couldn’t be happier. That says a lot surrounding comfort.
What made you switch to the SL8?
@@PatrickLino figured I’d do it while relatively young. Surprisingly it’s just as comfortable but way faster. Wanted a blacked out bike and the sl8 fit the bill. You’re going to love it.
Well done nearly 10k followers
Slowly but surely!
Hi, Bo from Denmark. Thanks for a great video. Will we see how you put on the new declas on the bike ? BR. Bo
Decals arrive later this week. Details will follow 😈
Liked your opinion compared to the S-Works. I see on Specialized site S-Works frame set is $5,500 and supply is not good. I am still thinking about a performance upgrade to my Trek Domane 2020 with SRAM Force Endurance bike. Is there any reason a recreational nerd would benefit from S-Works?
I don't like to police customers' buying decisions. Whatever inspires people to ride their bikes more. And if spending $5500 does that then I'm on board. The mean reasons are lighter, stiffer, and brand cache. That "S-Works" logo means a lot to certain people. I just can't justify the costs myself since I don't keep bikes for very long.
Is there a difference in btw. Sworks and the pro frame? Besides weight?
Sworks uses (supposedly) lighter and stiffer grade of carbon. That’s literally it.
When you we're talking about the allez sprint, it was in the "past continuous". Do you not have that bike/ frameset anymore?
I still have it....but it's cleaned up and boxed ready to be sold. 😭
@PatrickLino, you are moving over to the dark side 😅
Thats what the Chicago folks have been telling me!
Thanks for all your videos I learn a lot. Let us know how it rides the feeling. For me is one of the most important things. The firs feeling means a lot. Greetings from Spain.💫
I've been to Barcelona, Madrid, and Ibiza on holiday. One day I hope to return with my bike too!
@@PatrickLino Mallorca is one in life trip. I think you like it. You welcome.
@@JordiMoll also…I have many dress shoes from Mallorca haha
Dont worry about it. Just keep it shaved 👍
Confirming you are talking about my head right? 🤣
@@PatrickLino HA! Or your teeth
Good video amigo keep up the great work. Saludos desde TX the RGV
Thanks for watching!
Just shave it bro, I had to cut my dreds. Bald is good😊makes morning prep time shorter, you dig? Always enjoy your vids!!
Now I have a beard, and man so more maintenance for that too haha
SHEEESSSHH he’s done it 😱
total sell out now.
Nice premium Chinese product one of the best for sure however for this price tag should be more color options to choose from
Only downhill from here!
Congrats man
Thank you!
We should start a gofundme for Patty to get the most luscious George Washington wig you’ve ever seen. #DollaDollaBillsYall
It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.
10/10 would contribute to that go fund me.
@@Kevnidk THESE ARE MY FRIENDS.
New subscriber and fan! Good stuff Bro
Much appreciated kind sir!
Bike is phenomenal, Patrick, I got the same frame , same color… With CRW wheels and Rapide cockpit and Red cranks it came to 6,75 kg. And forget the weight, the bike is just flying, the trooper transfer is unreal
what average speed you have at 30 miles distance and what average power ?
I'm thrilled to get this thing built, hopefully this weekend. My Tavelo Attack with the same CRW 5060 weighs 7.1kg, so sub 7kg should be possible.
@@marcinstyle85 I would say 21mph ,power probably @3.5W/kg
Really like your channel mate
Thanks for the support. Almost at 10k!
Where did you order your decals for the sl8? I have the pro in green and want to get some frame decals. Great videos!
Details will follow. Stay tuned, as I'm hoping to have this built this weekend.
@@PatrickLino sounds good!
Just interested in what you think about the Giant tcr advanced.
I currently have a Propel Advanced Pro.
🎉
We made it!
nice video bro
Thanks bruh!
Where are you getting your decals and spacers from?
Details will follow...stay tuned!
Since you talked about your hair... How old are you? Nice Frame!
Old enough to rizz the mama, young enough to rizz her daughter 🤣
does the frameset come with a mount for a Di2 battery under the seatpost?
Yup
I just received my 10r frameset in blue, size 58cm. With the front and rear derailleur hangers and bottle cage bolts (but nothing else) it weight 923g. That’s nearly 100g more than your 56. Does that seem right to you?
I seen your post in Weight Weenies earlier today. The FD hanger/bolts weighs 9 grams. And cage bolts probably weigh less than one gram each. So we are talking like 14 grams combine. I can't imagine there's extra 85g moving up one size to a 58, but perhaps that's simply for added rigidity rather than negligence or paint overspray.
@@PatrickLino Thanks. I’ll check in with Specialized. BTW, your build in the other video looks fantastic. The custom decals really work.
Pro tip from a fellow scale tupperware container user, flip that shit and have the opening scale side down to give you a solid base to work with.
Genius level 1000
I'm subscriber 481.. I'll never let you forget that - but ya movin on up! 👍🤪
Subscriber 481? Dang that was probably 3.5 years ago now. Thanks for the support my friend.
@@PatrickLino I got your back man!
Fellow hair loss man here. My only complaint is the extra work it takes to keep the head bald. That fuzz that comes out a week after makes me look like im 50😅
Also since growing a beard, I find it takes more maintenance too!
@@PatrickLino I got a Philips Multigroom Series 3000 to manage the occasional beard. Really helps cut down the time taken to trim. Comes with a nose hair trimmer too that's really good!
I have the r12 yoeleo and thinking of getting an sl7.....curious to see if you find a big diff as the r12 is more economic but maybe more money is better?
Ride video on the SL8 is coming soon. Spoiler Alert: It blows everything out of the water. Only my Giant Propel comes close, and maybe my Tavelo Attack as a distance 3rd.
Next frame should be a TCR SL
I already have a Giant Propel. Most likely will be the Factor Ostro
@@PatrickLinoI rode the new Factor Ostro last weekend , very impressive !
Looks like my Trek Emonda SLR 2019 :D
Probably much cheaper too haha
Unique frame=Bross
The prices of the Bross Zenith, Tavelo Arow, and the new SEKA. They are creeping up too close to the SL8, which is honestly what motivated me to buy the SL8. $2000-$2500 Chinese frames are tough sell right now.
@@PatrickLino The Bross Zenith 3 is around 2300$US for the 105 mechanical version
@@PatrickLino I should add the bike looks even better in person
@@glennicol1361 How much for just frameset alone option? And is that the official price for the Western market?
Pls.try Vanyar Pro Bro!!!!!
Maybe they can send me out a frame!
At 6:44 it almost looks like the speed sniffer fork is backwards. Looking forward to the review, and most importantly when you review a Chinese clone one day 😬
I have two clones on my channel if you take a look 👍🏾
@@PatrickLino SL8 clone 👀😱
how many of your bikes are functional at a time? " He a FAN he a FAN he a FAN
Probably about as many as any typical UA-camr who's content focuses on reviewing bikes.
Hit dm with the Charlie Murphy reference
Hahahahahahah 🤣🤣🤣
Giant punching the air right now
I didn't sell my Giant...
really interested if you will be able to tell the difference to the chinese builds in terms of ride quality
I am also testing the latest Giant Propel, and I can tell you the difference are subtle but significant. Especially over rough pavement or when the speeds get fast.
What kit do you use to ride
Monton Sports. Link in the description
Where do you buy the decal stickers?
stay tuned...
oil up at 10k?
Is that an invitation?
@@PatrickLino maybe..
you sure buy a lot of bike stuff!
My accountant says I am deep in the red.
@@PatrickLino yeah if you have a company that includes your bike content production you could perhaps offset a lot of other income
@@FT__Bicycling_____-sc7yv ….I do lol
The weight of the frame is usually measured with the smallest size available, so a 56 with 827 sounds reasonable.
I think specialized advertises the 56 size.
@@PatrickLino my fault, you’re actually right! Just checked the Specialized homepage. Interesting where the difference comes from.
@@DevChannelVideos And still lighter than the S-Works SL7 previous generation. Crazy!
@@PatrickLino absolutely. Which decals would you recommend for the frame? White ones?
Aye yo the thumbnail has a Specialized in the background and a Giant forehead in the foreground
Lookin like Lebron bro😅😅😅. Jk man congrats on your SL8!
That HGH kicking in 😭
Just Bic it!
I usually do every 2-3 weeks, but I got lazy this week lol
id be deeply suspicous of a frame this light. How stiff is it how fragile?
That is what we will find out this summer.
Big mistake should go for sworks, bragging rights 😂
Let me get $2000 for the extra S-Works, so I can save 100g.
I just wonder... how many bikes do you currently own and ride ?
Like most other bike reviewers on UA-cam including the popular channels, we are constantly rotating bikes. Out with the old in with the new.
@@PatrickLino it is quite fun and interesting, but sometimes you can let go a very good bike ( i mean, for you personally )
How tall are you bro ?
Six Feeeeeeeeeeet
Paying for an SL8 will do that to your hairline
GOAT level comment right here haha
@@PatrickLino I bought an S-Works Aethos frame and my head as a consequence is way more aero than your ;-)

Nike: Just Do It

NOICE!!
You did well not going for SWorks. 100 something grams lighter? Ha…just take a pee before the ride.
$2000 to save 100g. I heard all the Tarmacs are technically S-Works, but the final weight after production determines whether SWorks or Pro version. if the frame ends up being too heavy.
@@PatrickLinoive never heard this statement before. Surely the carbon used and lay up is diff between the pro and sworks
