Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Flo/Red is for my son. The Cav venge, was a deal I couldnt pass up, only 200 made and might be worth a pretty penny when built up. So I bought it.

Tempting, probably pass. When I do sell the Cav Venge, I want to get a Colanago C59 Italia Black on Black. Well see, I just text my brother the Cav Venge and he's begging me for it.

What are these handle bars? I just got myself a new bike and I feel a bit too tall for the handlebars, like i'm going to lean almost onto my front tire. I'm about 6'4" with this large GT.

Yes I try to ride all my bikes.
I'd be scared to ride most of the bikes posted in this thread though.
Wouldn't be able to leave them anywhere in my hometown.

That Venge is hot! I never liked Mavic wheels too much, but I hardly even notice them on that bike.

So this is Jure, the guy who built my post combo, well this is his bike he built. The Slovenian TT National Championships were yesterday, and he took it there to show off his work. 6023g with a full Force group, and heavy, bars, bottle cages, and pedals.

Wow! Full Berk bike. I am a little surprised he didn't do a fully integrated seat/mast to the frame. Still - very nice.

He did on his last bike. This was his Prototype 4. Prototype 3 had what you were wanting.

His bike looks like it would fit me pretty well as it sits

Rob13's Venge trifecta... HOT, HOT, and HOT.

But my personal favorite is 3kmi's S-works Tarmac. That black/pink combo stands out from the rest; HOT.

Btw, on the Berk stuff, he makes his bikes from scratch. By that I mean he actually lays the carbon and makes his own molds and creates his own carbon tubing. I have a thread about it somewhere. The kid's gifted. He's actually making some seat/seat post modifications for Team Sky right now.

I'm not always a big fan of the black on black bikes, but I do think the C59 Italia BoB blows away the Venge BoB looks-wise... Enjoy!

Without knowing anything about them, they are hot. After having read his thread about the construction of these bikes on the Weight Weenies forum, they're just on a whole new level for me.

Yeah, the kid is pretty amazing. I am so happy to have one of his handmade pieces on my bike.
