It is winter and time on the trainer needs a distraction to fight off boredom. So I comparing my existing 2008 Scott CR1 to the 2015 Specialized Tarmac. They are different and there is 7 model years of technology between them. The Scott frame weight is 1006 grams and the Specialized is down to near 850 - 800 grams.
Here is the comparison. The seat tube measure is not exactly the same between the two. Scott provides 2 while Specialized has one. Scott does not have any fork dimensions in their spec. I added in Seat Post Diameter because that will effect the ride between the two. For the most part the dimensions are less than 10 mm apart, some nearly the same. Angles are different. The Specialized looks a little smaller and probably more sloped from head tube to seat post.
Would the fit difference be significant? The ride more plush or more harsh? Which of these dimensions would be more sensitive to fit?
