Help on finding a Venge McLaren size 52

david_c76

Dear passionate riders,

I am desperately looking for a Specialized Venge McLaren in size 52. Whether frameset or complete bike, it does not matter.

Anyone has any clue about local dealer who would still have one to sell ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Have you considered asking Specialized directly?

david_c76

Yes I did and my local Specialized dealer who is very helpful is trying to find one for me but he is rather pessimistic and he would anyway be limited in term of geographic territory. So I am trying to find a back-up plan as he might get back soon with a negative answer.

I know this bike has been out for some months now and that a lot of McLaren car owner who does not ride bicycle just bought it to have it nicely stand next to their car, but who knows, there might be one left somewhere in a dealer showroom... at least I hope so...

But thanks for asking, any kind of help or suggestion is always welcome :-)

Not sure if this is any help but I know where a brand new complete bike (high spec) in main dealer. Can't be sure of exact size but definatly not over sized. Please let me know if you need any further info.

I'm sure there is a complete bike on the wall above the stairs at the Covent Garden concept store, don't know what size it is though

Thank you very much TMG for your feedback.

I've been "googleing" for weeks and never found those sites ?!? You must be much stronger in that than me :-)

I have contacted harry cycles and bikescene (jamescycles has only the regular s-works version) but it is very weird as they seem to have both the frameset and the complete bike in stock for EVERY sizes, which is pretty weird knowing that this bike is almost sold out everywhere else in the world. But knows...

I'll keep you updated when I will have received their answers.

Thanks again !

Hi all,

Just want to thank you all the riders who helped me out to find this incredible bike.

On Tuesday this week I drove 1400km accross 5 countries to pick up my McLaren. It was tough to find it, but I finally got it :-)

Take care to all of you guys

Well done and congratulations on your previous National Lottery win!

National lottery won ? Unfortunately no, so I had to sell one of my leg to afford it. Now I have the bike but cannot ride it with my only remaining leg :-)

Just kidding but I agree, the price is totally insane.

I will put some pictures of course, I'll try to do that this WE, but I want to ride it first... :-)

How very dare you! We don't want some idle pictures of a engraved bike with muddy tyres and an oily chain. NapD will be along shortly to explain how to take a photo properly.

Enjoy the ride.

Is this Jens Voigt? Same sense of humour
