2015 S-Works Venge Cavendish

[Darceking]

Hi,

This is my second build, first was a SL4 S-Works Tarmac. ( viewtopic.php?f=10&t=124230 )

At the moment, I only have the Frameset and some of the gear, still waiting on some stuff to arrive. I will weigh what I can, but really, its all just common parts. I would really like this bike to weigh 6.5kg, though I really don't know if thats possible or not. I seen another guy with a 56 got 6220 so time will tell.

I will use the following. I have some of it already, some I have to save a little money for other stuff is in the mail.

I have a 56 waiting to be built up myself. Will watch this thread eagerly.

I didn't realize this frame was going to be available... uh oh...

[Darceking]

@ Imaking20 - It was not meant to be available in Australia, I emailed Specialized AU and they said NOPE. 1 week later I get a call from my LBS and he said he can get one. They only bought in 2 or something. I said I will take it.

I got some Dura-Ace parts today. Do you guys actually want it weighed or you don't care ?

[Frankie - B]

What is the name of this forum again? Great looking frame. I certainly hope you are going to get it below 6.5k

[Darceking]

I know Frankie, but they are normal Dura-Ace 9000 parts. But sounds like I must weigh them so I will

I really don't if 6.5kg is realistic or not. I want it to be, but once I weigh the frame I will have a better idea of how I am tracking.

All the flat white paint! She's gonna be a beaut!!

I got some Dura-Ace parts today. Do you guys actually want it weighed or you don't care ?

The frame, frame with fork - for sure.
Mainline parts - I'm the 1% that doesn't care.

[Darceking]

OK. I will get the frame + fork / just frame weighed next time I am at the shop. I will weigh the rest of it just to keep the thread updated.

[Darceking]

Went to the shop to get the frame weighed. Little busy so will get it done next week.

Got some other goodies delivered though, will weigh them soon as I get a scale from the shops. But I promise all weights will be recorded before build. Also, after speaking to the shop, I don't think it will get below 7kg. I don't know how people have got them to 6.2 etc.

Wheels are a big factor to what your overall weight will be. My venge (54cm) came to a midgen over 6kg with a set of lightweight tubs on it and 6.5 with come clincher zipps. From experience I think you could get it to 6.8 no problems.

[Darceking]

Thanks mate - It is a 58cm frame. So I am always going to be fighting the weight problem. But if I go the Roval 40's which are 1395g I think, then I thought I wouldn't have a problem getting under the 7kg mark. Not sure where else I could save weight. The only thing I could change are the pedals.
