After 5 weeks on order my new Venge was delivered to the LBS today 
First up was to change the standard wheels for slightly nicer ones...
Crap non OCP picture. Seat post wasn't adjusted either lol
I'll get more later, but I was excited, wanted out on it and I'm crap with a camera so yea....
So far so good, did 50mile on my 2010 Allez, and then 25 on the Venge tonight the difference was night and day!
Happy days.

I have no idea what's going on here.0 -
Looks fantastic but does deserve a better picture. There appears to be a lot of seat post showing but that is the design of the geometry I guess. It looks really fast, I like it..Giant Defy Advanced

Yea hadn't adjusted seat post, torque bar was in the car still...

I like that!
A nice change from the matt black ones0 -
I think it looks MUCH better in red. Everyone knows red is faster than black. I'm surprised Team Sky still ride black bikes. Marginal gains and all that.0

Looking just as good in red as it does in the black....Cervelo S5 Ultegra Di2.0
-
Not sure about fastest colour....rider lets it down :P0

Some bling i picked up for the venge
Few nicks on them but i reckon it will hide ok with the bar tape hopefully
Cheers Baz if you are reading 0 -

Looks like a cool bike! Im not convinced of the "Aero" road bike, but that Venge is a good case. Make sure to post some pics when you've got the bars and pedals on!“Don’t buy upgrades, ride up grades.”

Stunning bike, very jealous! The paints faded a bit quick for a 2013 model though :shock:0 -
Nice bike! I am waiting for them to come into stock, but I am ordering a 52cm Expert in that same color. What size is yours? And do you happen to have a weight?
Thanks!0 -
Mines a 56, haven't weighed it lol0

Wee change of bars, these came up and are in better nick and I think they match better

Quick one on taping flat top bars, would you tape all the way as normal or only tape to just after the hoods?0
-
Just after the hoods 8)0
-
cant tape just after hoods
cables arent internal and will flap about and look generally poor....
gotta be taped normal0 -
Arrr
Thinner the tape the better then?0 -

I've seen people use helicopter tape to hold the cables in place nearer the stem. You can't really see it, so might be an option. Them bars are awesome.0 -
cheers, bargain price so couldnt pass them up and they are in brand new condition!
got my mate at the LBS to tape all the way, itll be ok for now, tapes not in till friday as the kind i want isnt in stick at the moment...no rush as the venge is off the road now till the better weather kicks back in (if...) 0 -
