tarmac if it fits
don’t get the madone, those brakes are annoying to find replacements for, they were made specifically for this bike
Tarmac all the way. The Tarmac SL6 is an exceptional bike and quite possibly the greatest rim brake road race bike ever made.
The Madone looks cool but is unexceptional, and the spec looks worse.
Whichever make you happy, it’s your money.
Just keep in mind with the tarmac that fork looks to have one spacer so not much room for adjustments and if you live somewhere with lots of hills those gear will make climbing harder, but some nice upgrades on it
