The Specialized Tarmac SL8 is one of the best road bikes that you can buy in 2026. It's used in pro cycling and has many positive bike reviews. However, are the tides changing and are you better off building you own dream build bike rather than buying stock?
In this video I reveal my dream bike build made almost exclusively with direct to consumer parts from China and the Far East. A Seka Spear RDC road bike frame, N0.6 Racing Works Wheels, Magene power meter, Shimano Dura-Ace groupset and Ryet carbon fibre saddle.
