Posted in the Venge thread too...
Due to a hectic days travelling, I haven't had a chance to ride it, yet. That's pencilled in for tomorrow morning.

S-Works Venge.
Dura Ace Di2 2013, 11 speed.
Quarq S975 cranks.
Zipp Vuka Sprint bars.
Zipp 404 clincher wheels.
Specialized Turbo 23mm.

Bars look as though they turned up, but they aren't! Stem will be trimmed later.

A few tweaks to be made.
First real riding will be done in Majorca over the next week :wink:

    Looks a proper weapon. I liked them bars for mine, but succombed to some brand matching OCD.

    Lovely bike!

    Awesome machine. How do you like those bars? Contemplating getting the traditional bend versions at the moment.

    Sorry for the delay, but been in Majorca with the Venge. Awesome machine, climbs well, too. But, the downhill's are something else :wink:
    The bars are great. Really comfortable, I'd recommend them.

    Stunning bike. Your bike is the reason I chose a Tarmac. Venge has to look like this. No question !!!

    Smoking hot machine mate. Enjoy. :D

    Cheers Pete.
    I wanted the Venge in the same finish as your Tarmac, but none in my size.
    May be removing the red bits soon.

    Still tinkering...
    My recently bought Quarq S975 (GXP) went t1ts up in Majorca! Bob (Cyclepowermeters) thought it was a loose connection and offered a new replacement unit. I decided to take this opportunity to swap it for a Specialized Quarq spider, so I could get rid of the BB adaptor.
    Much happier with how it looks and the 20mm or so, les Q Factor!
