Upgrading my Tarmac and oops a S-Works Venge..

Hey Guys,
I recently uploaded my 2013 Tarmac (http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40044&t=12969848) with the intention of upgrading the chainset. Well, one thing led to another and I became a proud owner of a 2012 S-Works Venge..
Almost all of the parts are recycled or bought second hand. I tried to build the bike myself but ran out of suitable tools :roll: so I had a friendly LBS help finish it off.
Spec:-
2012 S-Works Venge
56 frame size I'm 6"
Full Dura Ace 7900 groupset (minus the crank)
Rotor 3DF with Q-Rings
Jagwire cables
Chinese 50mm Carbon Wheelset (absolutely brilliant)
Continental GP4000s tires
FSA K-Wing Bars
FSA SL-K 110mm Stem
K-Edge Out-front Garmin
Specialized Toupe saddle
Dura Ace 7900 pedals
Final Weight - 7.45kg
Sorry for the poor quality pic as I'm rubbish with anything camera related.
She's a dream to ride, seems to fly off the mark.
Hope you like as much as I like riding it

Thanks for the comments, I've seen a few stealth S-Works about and I have a black Tarmac already so I jumped at the the read/white/black frame. I agree with the bottle cages, although they came with the frame and matched the paint job so left them in place.Devastazione wrote:No need to comment much,it's a beautiful bike.

After trawling the internet for sellers, looking at Carbonzone etc, I settled for an ebay seller diy-bike. They had an absurd claim that the wheelset was 1250g, but they're not far off. I would be a little dubious on the heating and brake track quality though if I had to do some long descents, but I don't live near any big hills
