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???

@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
@Steve, got an instructional video for that?
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.
Damn crooked cops......
