Very happy, finally. Performance and beautiful blue-tint!!

Started road cycling about a year ago with a Giant Defy Adv-2. Over time me and the bike kept getting slower, putting in so much effort for little results. So back to the drawing board, and also going down a size to a 52 (I'm 5'7""), I landed with the Tarmac Sport. Already my speed is up and the bike is fun to ride as it is very nimble, headwinds are not a huge deal either anymore. Cant wait for the next ride!!
