    I'm steadily falling in love with all things specialised, the Orange S-Works venge especially.

    Just one word of warning, prepare your excuses for the forthcoming 'you saddle aint level poilice - becuase they bee right!

    Ha, for some reason with the Romin saddles I have (both evo and non-evo) a slight downwards tilt is the perfect position for me - have to go with what is the most comfortable after all!

    Thanks, it's a compact as this suits my style of riding

    I am only using it for commuting this week as the weather has been great and so gives me the perfect opportunity to make fine adjustments to get my position right on the bike

    I usually commute on another bike (a Spesh Tarmac) without such fancy wheels!

    Cool commuter - just ride what you want when you want: if you have it, the weather is nice and the ride warrants it then fair play.

    Its quite nice actually.

    Really nice, is it matt or shiny silver?
    Perfect build, but that saddle/ fanny pack…..
    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

    I agree, the saddlebag looks terrible but needs must on my commute!

    Frame does look amazing but how can you use a compact on arguably the worlds fastest bike or any aero frame for that matter?! Your gonna lose out in the commuter sprints on a VENGE
