Looking for a top cap for my New Tarmac. The stock Specialized is just too ugly. Any good ideas that'll take off some weight, and look good on this bike?

Possible idea would be a custom cap? not got one myself but toyed with getting one from kapz. http://www.kapz.co.uk
they ship worldwide and you can design your own which would suit your awesome bike :)

Absolute Black also does a nice one.
I'm using one myself and couldn't be happier.

Extralite have a top cap with a 'pin up' girl attached and various colors available. Cap + bolt < 3g on my scale.

The purple seems closer of your frame colors

The Zipp one that comes with the Service Course stems is very nice - has the top spacer integrated. Fuji also do this but it wouldn't match your bike

I just popped a silver one on my Ti bike. It added just the right amount of 'trucker trashy' to the bike. Love it!

Tune has a light UD cap with the Tune logo in gloss which looks nice if it matches your bike. Smud makes a light top cap as well.

I've been using the vcrc UD carbon top cap that weighs in at 5g. Cheap too!

Wow Kapz is a really cool website. I have like a red 5 spoke specialize one that I spray painted red to match my frame.

With that Zipp stem. I would use the one that comes with it.
