so apparently your GBP10500 gets you this beautiful bike with Sram Red AXS and then they go do something brain dead and make it not tubeless compatible.

The mind boggles

I actually watched the full video.

 

It's quite impressive, really good production and clearly made by some apple fanbois as it has a touch of jobs to it. 

The palmares in the bloodline are not to be sniffed at with super mario kicking it off and sags, bettini, boonen, contador and alaphillipe et al all bringing in win on sunday returns.

 

also quite amazing how these sort of launches can happen, with the bike seemingly under wraps and then flown all around the world under covid travel restrictions.

 

I'm not sure dropping the venge altogether is the right idea, but it's done.

although the smart money is an italian bike will win le tour this year, no matter how good this bike might be.

That was to try get it close to the 6.8kg weight (non tubeless wheels and cotton tires)

‘So basically when you put on normal tires,pedals,cages your 200k bike is over 7kg.

In 2020 that’s ridiculous

how does the bubbly get through the mask?!

Imagine you had just spent close to R200k on the Venge a few months ago, how disappointed are you feeling right now?

Once tey launched the new Venge one could see that either it or the Tarmac had to go.

Beautiful bike but its like all the dudes going to the Ferrari launches aren't the people with the money to buy them.

 

People trying to launder that amount of cash keep a low profile generally :-)

 

Not that i am alleging that all the people riding Tramacs are drug dealers :-).
