I'll take your word for it; I'm as good as teetotal these days!
Are you man or mouse?
Although, a part of me is keen to welcome all forms of cycling, so I can't be too harsh!
Someone asked me the other day to suggest three things most important for...
Kerry, you just won this thread with that bike! I WANT IT!!!
Jacob - havent read all your posts above in detail, but;
1) NICE bike... very very nice! Great choice!
2) looking much trimmer &...
(late reply, I know...) ...but I heard Cav doest rate it either, apparently swapping to his "old" bike after the first couple of sprints where he lost out. I read this from one of the journos on...
I wonder why Specialized are using Sagan to "promote" this model, rather than Cavendish who has traditionally been the Venge flag-holder for Specialized?
Maybe Oleg spent some ££ to make sure his...
Come on cycling nerds, where's the passion?!
Tell me these dont make your lycra stretch just a little bit, if not a full blown crotch blowout?
...
My knees have gone all weak just looking at this:

hubba hubba!
(the all new Venge ViAS)
Nice!
Agree - I have the latest 6800 on my "best bike" (carbon) and latest 5800 on my "wet bike" (aluminium).
The latter I installed myself (just last week) and I must say it performs better than the...
JoshB - The Incredible Hulk!
Come on, please change those wheels!!
I am only being jealous - love it - what groupset is it?
I have the hi-mod Synapse - it's incredible - fast, super stiff...
I always wondered about this situation - what is their resolution? Are you going to have to jump through hoops proving it's condition etc?
Ah I'm sure it's fine if it's been built by a proper bike mechanic who knows his stuff. Google around the issues for more info.
As for 50mph downhill... I just don't need that kind of adrenaline...
I think the risks are minimal, but best to be safe than sorry! The last place you want to be when the carbon steerer collapses is on a 40mph descent!
Sorry, I am just being alarmist, but with the...
Dont forget to put it in the small ring, small cog before you put it in the garage (takes the tension off the cables), and hope you have a nice deep expanding bung in that carbon steerer with you...
Love this photo!
And I am a committed Roadie (and therefore anti-MTB!)
I put in some suffering today, and feel great. Been home 2 hours now and still feel the glow in the cheeks and the ache in...
Snap!
My 3yr old secteur has been relegated to "wet bike" status since I got my hi-Mod Cannondale Synapse Ultegra :)
However I have continuously modded and upgraded my synapse such that the...
Kerry, I use a lizard skin sticker on my (carbon road bike) chainstay - I see you have something more substantial there. The chainstays on mine are somewhat funnily shaped - does the protector in...
Bloody hell Burnsey, didnt know you were an organ donor?
PS what's with all the boxes on the back - is that to keep your tampons in ;-) ;-)
That's bloody amazing! More pics please!
Looks super super fast!
That's lovely! Well done building it up yourself - I find it brings far more satisfaction than one entirely bought from the bike shop. I have toyed with buying an Izalco for about 3 years now - how...
