Nice! Out of curiousity, isn't the main advantage of the Tarmac over the Venge the lighter weight?

I guess some would argue so. As you can see from my two bikes, their weight are not that different. I honestly feel like I can climb just as well on my Venge as my SL4. Maybe b/c of the SL4's geometry, it does feel a bit snappier when you are out of the saddle attacking a climb. But when you are pacing yourself up a long hilly ascent, I feel comfortable with either bike. As for the flats, the Venge does give you the feeling of moving faster. Not sure exactly why, but when I am on the Venge, I tend to shift to higher gears in the rear....it just wants you to push harder.
