What kind of riding are you doing?

Owned a Tarmac but love my Venge - nuff said.

[Mopkop]

TCR Advanced, mountain goat of note. Light, stiff frame

 

Like the look of the tarmac though

Venge is super nice, especially the stealth black

[Zatek]

I am no mountain goat but can hold my own on the flats. Raced vets last year and looking to get to the vets next year if all goes well.

Very nice machine. I do think though, that Kiwi should kindly tell them to remove his logo and company name from those wheels....

I love the TCR. It's so good in so many ways and I'll be first to hold my hand up and stay 'have a good look at what you get' but that said, a Venge, I'd love to see what that can offer on the slopes and for pure power on the flats.

 

Don't for get the Scott Foil. That is really well priced for what you get and there are a lot of pro' teams that are doing well on them (notice I didn't say riding them as we all know they get them for free!).

 

What's the budget / size?
