Zatek Posted April 2, 2014 Share I buying a new road bike (may be used) in less 3 months time so I started with my research. Currently I am looking into Specialized Venge Expert Ultegra but don't have too much info on Roubiax or Tarmac. Also looking into Trigon. I like the look of the Aero frames and we don't have huge mountains to climb in races as well. Also like the Fondriest range as well. Any other suggestion on bikes that are worth looking at? If I go used or experience bikes I will have to look at upgrading the wheels to Zipp or carbon deep section clinchers. Any advice and also would like to test drive the bike before buying so looking for shop in JHB or MPU area that will let me test.

Pure Savage Posted April 2, 2014 Share On a serious note, I have recently moved from 5 years on Alu Scott, to a season on a Giant TCR 2 to now a Spez Venge expert. I am loving the Venge, with my race wheels on and a mix of Ultegra and 105 and it sits at 7.35Kg if weight is your thing. I have not done any major racing on it yet but on the 1500 km I have done its been pretty awesome. I find accelerating up hills the Venge is much faster than the Giant. I also got some carbon bars which I am liking a lot at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of my mates ride the venge and I struggled keeping up with them so hope this helps!! Not sure about the benefits of aero, but it looks sweet!!
