Bike porn

I currently own a Specialized Tarmac Pro road bike. I'm also currently involved in an eBay auction to upgrade my frame to a SL3 s-works frame, sweet ride!

BUT, then I go to a LBS to pick up my packet for a bike rally tomorrow, and what do I see?

The new Specialized Venge! This particular rig has a SRAM red gruppo and is priced at $8k. Yikes, but truly drool worthy.

This is the same bike model that Mark Cavendish is rolling with (altho not the exact same build, he has that McLaren F1 build, one of a kind).

I left the LBS hours ago and I can't stop thinking about it. Am I obsessed???

  • yes, you are obsessed. And yes, that's a damn fine bike!
  • Offer them 5k, no wheels. Then you sell your Tarmac and you're golden.

  • @Mike, I can think of many worse things to be obsessed about. Then again...

    @Chris, the frame price on the Specialized site is $3900. That's the way I'm searching, I already have enough components (esp wheels), I just want to swap into a better frame! I know the owner of the LBS, I'll ask him for a deal. :-)
  • I see black a black outfit, late night and lots of sneaking and one has a free bike

  • @Scott, nice bike!

    @Steve, got an instructional video for that? image

    Yep  
  •  Scott,

    I feel for ya.  I totally understand your obsession.  I have about 20-30 items on my eBay watch list at any given time.  Rarely do I bid, but I can't help myself from looking for deals on good bike porn. This does not include the time I spend looking at closeout sales on retailers' websites...

    I must admit though, that part of my obsession is driven by the fact that I can get bikes so much cheaper in the US than Denmark.  I go back to the US a few times a year and usually ended up coming back to Denmark with a new bike for me or my wife...

    The Venge looks sick.  Keep us updated.
