Cippo Posted May 6, 2014 Share Evo vs Venge. Evo is a mountain goat and Venge super fast. What kind of rider are you? Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/139077-need-help-on-next-road-race-machine/#findComment-2291206 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatek Posted May 6, 2014 Share 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.

CAAD4 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Need some pics Very nice machine. I do think though, that Kiwi should kindly tell them to remove his logo and company name from those wheels....

T-Bob Posted May 6, 2014 Share 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?
