Hi all, wanted your opinion on this head-to-head. Assuming both are available in your size, which would you pick?
[Madone](https://www.trekbikes.com/ca/en_CA/bikes/road-bikes/performance-road-bikes/madone/madone-sl/madone-sl-7-gen-7/p/41467/?colorCode=greylight)
[Tarmac](https://www.specialized.com/ca/en/tarmac-sl8-expert/p/216955?color=357280-216955)
Just a quick list of some spec highlights/wins:
Price: Tarmac cheaper by about $CAD900
Weight: Tarmac by ~200g all-in (claimed)
Groupset: Madone with Ultegra over Tarmac with Rival
Power Meter: Tarmac includes
Handlebars: Carbon flared on Madone, standard alloy on Tarmac
Wheels: Deeper rims with wider internal widths on Madone
Paint: I prefer the Tarmac schemes lol (but I do hate the specialized logo being on the stays and fork)
Thanks for your input!
