I have an offset post (and some new saddles to test), so I will put it on and you can tell me what you think.

My baby just prior to check in for IMFL

 
oh no, i got my frenglish wrong. What i meant to say is, i dont like the seat post that people have on there transition. I dont think it make the bike look good. You are the only one with a straigh seat post and that is the best way to make the bike look mean and fast... Just my opinion really..... but i think that ''neutral'' straigh seat post look way better than what i see in the other pic on this thread... and would allowed for one step bike also!

wait 'till I post a picture of mine....

It seems to me that Specialized needs to make an additional piece for the setback seatpost. A clamp with the seatclamp in the middle. The current reversable clamp leaves UCI legal riders with a choice of seat all the way forward (in the back position of the clamp) or all the way back (with the forward position of the clamp). It would be an easy fix.

Anyone with the S-Works weighed their bike fully built? Just curious the weight difference between my Pro with the S80's and a S-Works with a set of say 808's or something?

I weighed my S-works with a pair of 202 tubulars and s-works mondo tires on and got 14.1. I think I could get it to 13.5, maybe even sub-13, in very raceable condition easily.

I have a team geo (lower head tube) sz58.

Are you talking about your Tarmac or Transition??

Tarmac. Sorry. I just realized that he was probably asking about the Transition.

Sub-13 for a Transition would be BAMF...

They are not so light. My medium S-works with SRAM red, Specialized SRM, and Hed Black Dog bars is a little under 19 with training wheels. Just a little lighter with 808s.
As I recall bare frame weight was 1650ish grams and fork 540ish? Post is not light either so that puts you 600+ grams heavier than some of the lighter bikes out there.
Not that it matters for tri/tt.

Thanks for the info! I know it doesn't really matter and it wouldn't be a huge difference, but I'm a nerd for useless information :) HOWEVER, if Jordan's Transition really was ~13lbs, then I'd say the premium for S-Works over the over frames is a steal!
For reference, mine came in at 21.12lbs as pictured above.

I've never tossed our bikes on the scale, but my friend has an S-WORKS and it is considerably lighter than my Transition, enough to notice just by picking em up. The carbon is higher quality which results in less being used to get the stronger frame.

I'm gonna say it's time to check out that scale of yours. My medium S-Works with the tubular Easton's pictured above came in at about 17.1. And for anyone wondering, yes, weight does make a big difference. Not sure why people would think otherwise.

Nice tires. The Team Quicksteps are also pretty awesome.

mine jealousy runneth over

def. favorite combo but the color seems so rare, is it a limited ed. one ?

I like the all red ones the best. The yellow/black looks pretty good. It's the 08 Expert model I think.

There should only be 80-100g difference between frames depending on size between S-Works and Pro. That's from the source.
