Lose the dork disc before the 41 and you should be ok.
Edit: will need to lose the spacer stack and flip the stem before the Hot R Not thread tho.

Second, the spacer stay and I flipped it over to get the extra degrees. I have a broken then fused neck, so I need then extra height.
Last, the roadies will die a slow death when they see the WI pedals with clips and straps. After 32 years of martial arts my knees decided about 3years ago that they were done with clipless.
oh the dork disc will be gone... I was in a hurry...

I had a Roubaix, and it was great. But, with the fused neck I cannot ride drop bars for more than about 2 1/2 hours. And, that is after building up to that. My neck muscles eventually just give up. So, after about 6 months without a road bike I decided on the Venge, over the Roubaix and Tarmac. My plan is to go for 1 to 2 hours rides with this bike, trying to go as fast as I can and really enjoy it while I can. By the way, the back is overall pretty good, the problem is almost solely my neck.

I ride probably 90% of the time on the hoods, and only ride the drops when descending or into a strong headwind. My problem is no lower back flexibility, so when I ride the drops I have to bend my neck a lot to raise my head so I can see where I'm going.

Today I accidentally bought my first set of single-walled rims. 
They appeared double walled in the profile-wise product pic!
So cheap they essentially went straight from the box to truing stand.
Also, the grove is so deep because of the faux- double wall profile that I ended up using a roll of velox and a rim strip for each.

First, I am waiting on my new pedals.....
Second, the spacer stay and I flipped it over to get the extra degrees. I have a broken then fused neck, so I need then extra height.
Last, the roadies will die a slow death when they see the WI pedals with clips and straps. After 32 years of martial arts my knees decided about 3years ago that they were done with clipless.

I have no issues with your questions or statements, it is all good. And, it would be very difficult for me to care less about the small portion of roadies who are giving the other roadies a bad reputation.
