my tarcc bike

Black dentist build SL8’s are boring, but I get why people build em. After damaging a Bianchi Specialissima (last gen) frame and Bianchi never responding (I just wanted to ask if there were even any available), I decided I’d never buy a Bianchi again. Started weighing replacement options and narrowed it to the new TeamMachine R, the New Ostro VAM, and the SL8. I actually ordered an Ostro VAM but that ended up not working out so I decided to start with the RTP SL8 frame and go from there.

Happy with how it turned out because weight wasn’t a sole goal but it was definitely a factor. 56 RTP, 10/36 cassette, bbinfinite bb, Tavelo Avro bars in 40/120, full Red, Farsports S6/5 Evo wheels, 32mm GP5KSTRs, Fizik Antares R1 Adaptive saddle, Arundel Mandibles, Assioma Duos, wireless blips, galfer rotors, AB OSPW, carbon ti rings, gold supacaz tape, some other gold bits. Came in at 6.69 kg. (Yes I still need to make some fit adjustments but in before the seat/seatpost comments 😂). Waiting for Alptitude to release their 0 offset post.

I snagged a hard to find 2024 S-Works TT module and built it out from scratch. SRAM Red eTap, wireless aero blips, Kogel Ceramic BB and OSPW. Boyd Carbon with ceramic bearings. Just at 18lbs with the training tyres

Shimano mechanical, rim brake.

Budget build.
