A venge is a Love it or hate it kind of bike. I've only seen few Venges that have caught my eye and made me want to look twice. This one is a Not for me, but it doesn't change the fact that it is a very nice ride.
If I had to be specific:
-I dont like the extra spacers above the stem (regardless of dialing in a fit or not).
-No matter how awesome DA is, I just cant stand their cranks and would rather see an all black crankset on there.
-I'd take the logo's off those wheels.
-I'd go with all black cages. I find that colored cages to match accent colors on a bike is like a blue 1999 Honda civic having blue windshield wipers with glowing LED's.
This staging doesnt help either. The bars pointing away as it is makes the bars and stem angle look weird.
Still a great bike though.
