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

Amazing bike. Who'll be the first BF'er to buy one; add a bento box and 40mm of spacers?

Don't know if I or someone else already mentioned it, but I think Hong Fu is the factory making these, and they are also making their own 'version'. I think the model is the FM034?

The Hong Fu version that was posted elsewhere is a far, far cry from the Venge, to me... as far as Hong Fu actually making the Venge, this is not one I'd heard, previously...

I'm not 100% on them making the Venge but I've heard it more than once. It looks very similar to me - not a far cry at all. In fact it just looks like they changed the seat tube a little. The internal cable routing is exactly the same.

When's the Pro version coming out? I have no need for the Sworks version.

Hi,

Do you mean the McLaren version? Big local Specialized dealer said July -- or was it September? Either way, another nice looking frame that is way out of my price league.

I've gotta say... without the paint job of the McLaren version, it doesn't trip my trigger.
