Well, I'll try. First it's very cool.
Now in full-justification mode: it's lighter, leads to crisper shifting and especially braking, and when it's time to re-cable you just re-thread inside the housing, so it lasts way longer. Also, it's very cool. |

Wow Happy B-day and enjoy the new ride!
I love how the new 2013 Sram Red chainrings look with the S-works cranks! |
No one should be so lucky to get a bike like this from their wives as a gift. I call BS on this ��

Just checked the other thread and I'm still trying to find out which bike brand you like the most.
Can we see your stable sir? There were 2 frames on that thread + S works posted. PS I have a feeling this guy's initials are TB or MC and "Rob" is just his alter ego. |

out of my own curiosity, you have DI2 and SRAM Red, do you have a preference in shifting that had you stick with the SRAM or is this just the spec of the bike? |

What didn't you like about the Venge?
|
As a Specialized fan, that is some pretty bike swag...pro level bike brother. Congrats Rob. Also, I have a buddy who bought a bike with Di2 and swapped it for mechanical because he preferred the mechanical 'feel'. New Red looks very nice. Could you come back after the bike is built and provide your impressions?
|
I wish I could get my wife to keep buying me bikes until she gets it right.

Im not going to use the s works bars or stem. I cant finish until I get my 3T stealth stem and stealth ergonova bars come in.
|
My Bar and stem came in today.
3T Stealth http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/IMG_4497.jpg 3T Stealth Ergonova, went with a shorter reach and drop, compared to the S Works Tarmac Bend. http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/IMG_4500.jpg http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/IMG_4501.jpg Comparing the two http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/IMG_4503.jpg http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/IMG_4504.jpg Perfect cut http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/s...d/IMG_4496.jpg |
boy that fork steerer looks beefy compared to others! I love those S-works bottle cage bolts, nice touch. Looking forward to more pics as you go and good choice on the bar/stem. One thing I'll really give to Specialized is that they really have mastered many of the contact points. I know that not everything will fit everyone, but their shoes and saddles I think are best in class.

Great Wife, Nice Rig. Good luck with both of them.
|
If it were mine I would have a guy outline the 3T logos in red to match the s-works on the down tube. Looks great. Sorry my OCD kicked in.
