thanx for you guys honest opinion. I wasnt into yellow either but after wighting the other colors It seemed to look the best. I just dropped the stem down alot this week. the steerer will be cut soon. The white grip tape is to hard to clean otherwise I would have went with it.

For the future - Fizik Microtex (not soft touch) in white is pretty easy to keep clean - wash with Simple Green and a scrubby sponge, it's white again. Lasts a year.

Unlike non-Livestrong branded, or the actual ugly stuff itself.

Hey, yellow is all good. Don't let them tell you otherwise. Can you blame me?!

Neuvation C50Cs, but the rear wheel was rebuilt by Psimet with a White Industries hub.

Well when I purschaed the madone it was just whit silver and black. I wanted to add red but when i went on computer it looked bad and so did most other colors. when i got to yellow which was my last choice it made the bike stand out. so i custom ordered the saddle from fizik, got spacers, bar tape, jagwire cable housing and yellow hoods and had it all installed. I think It looks great. got a couple more things to do to it. Eveyone has a opinion which is why we post on here to get everyones opinion. i wasnt a yellow fan till I seen what it could look like then i was sold.

ucimbz thats pretty nice looking ride. need some yellow wheelsets. lol. im looking for some myself

Nice bike, despite the yellow. You did a decent job of tying it all together with the cages and pedals. I would have to say "hot", though it would be hotter if you de-stickered the wheels.

Definitely hot. Need to cut the steerer though. ;) Excellent job aligning the rim/tire labels. What are the training wheels? (uh, that didn't sound right but you know what I mean...)

Thanks! Yes, I definitely need to get around to cutting it... I've been putting it off for sooo long. The training wheels are Mavic's Ksyrium SLR wheelset.

I say hot...minus the tower above the stem...or was it lowered just for the pic? ;)

Nah, that's my legit positioning. I just figured it wouldn't be too bad to keep the tower there in the meantime since it kinda flows with the garmin in front... but you're right, it needs to be cut.

Definitely HOT. As others have said, have the steerer tube cut down. Nice pics. Cross chain fail. ;-)

^ Not

Now send the bike down here to Hampton!

Got a couple frames in the shop yesterday...sick sick sick.

I saw Wooosh posted in here, and I was really wanting to say not, because I am not a big fan of the Venge, but that looks really nice. I gotta say HOT! Those wheels look great on there. Having said that, why on earth did you put that pig anchor Rotor crank on it? Please remove that, and install a proper S-Works crankset.

SA, I'm going to take that as a complement, coming from you. Rotor will be replaced in the near future by SRAM BLACK RED or SRAM RED BLACK or whatever they call it...:D

Nooooo! Please put a proper S-Works crank on there. It is a compliment btw. It looks great, better than any other of Venges I have seen.
