2023 new Tarmac SL8 rumor
Moderator: robbosmans
Good luck. I got one of those (size 58) last year in my country by searching the Specialized site. It was out of stock online but I put in random post codes and then rang companies who Specialized said had stock. The Specialized site and the stores weren't 100% synced but I found one eventually.

Yeah..we get screwed pretty hard... Spec Canada doesn't get alot of stuff , Im looking for a crux was told nope, we don't do frame sets... There are some options if you find one though... If you live close to the us border like I do in Winnipeg, you can order one and send it to a delivery address, then drive across..I had to do similar when I did my sl6 frameset years ago .. alternative to Europe is to purchase frame and get it sent to a forwarding company in that country and have them send it.. problem with that is you now pay that countries taxes , cat for example, and you get dinged for tax when it comes to Canada, and do you have the trust in the forwarding company doing their job and forwarding it..because once the shop you ordered from sees it's delivered to said company, it's out of their hands.... It's one reason I backed out if the crux that I did find...

Sometimes the bike shops can ship directly to you, the place I ordered my SL7 had it delivered to me in Canada. But I was ready to drive across the border if they couldn't. I paid about 300$ CAD to get it delivered across the border, so it can be worthwhile.ParisCarbon wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2023 11:23 amYeah..we get screwed pretty hard...

If anyone can direct me to a 49/52 Id appreciate it. eBay and my FB groups dont have any atm
There's a number of Aethos on eBay but I cant get over the cables. Aesthetics play a big role in my purchase

AFAIK only concept stores can do it correct?
The last time I enquired was an SL5 Sagan ed way back. Canada never got their allotment so I asked a shop near Toronto if they can get one and said yes. I didnt pull the trigger but I was happy to know they could
*they got that Tom Boonen Roubaix frame before which I think Canada never got an allotment. It was the Pearl white with Gold accents. Their mech bastardized it with flat bars
For me I used Strictly Cycling Collective, based around New York, and they shipped across the border to me in Toronto. Maybe things changed since back in the SL5 times.g32ecs wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 2:20 pmJaisen wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2023 12:36 pmSometimes the bike shops can ship directly to you, the place I ordered my SL7 had it delivered to me in Canada.

I emailed the concept store in UK asking about a frameset, and I got the same response as what Sigma gave me with the Crux... we'll send it to a delivery point, after that, its out of our hands... THe place I am looking at in the states with the Crux late summer told me similar, we can't ship to Canada, but we can ship to a US address... Spec Canada will honor warranty though, so its not like you're out of luck for that...g32ecs wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 2:20 pmJaisen wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2023 12:36 pmSometimes the bike shops can ship directly to you, the place I ordered my SL7 had it delivered to me in Canada.
