Very nice. How do you manage wet rides.

Thanks. The 2015 Venge is my go to wet ride bike along with a Diverge if it is really nasty. I usually wipe down the bikes before hanging back on the wall. If it is a wet ride, sometimes more. I got caught out on the ViAS a couple of days ago, and it went straight to the work stand to get cleaned, and lubed prior to being ridden again, and then hung up last night as today, I won't have time to ride. The Shiv has a wall mount in the bedroom, and I have more bikes in the garage, and a Langster on the trainer.

I'm confused here? Venge ViAS all come with integrated Garmin mounts. However, my 15 Venge has a Fetha mount, and an Aldren Designs mount on my Shiv, but I don't think that's what you're talking about.
Having had this for a month or so now and played around with it, really can see why its so heavy. The brakes on their own must weigh a heap, even little things like the pad holder bolts with a huge stack of washers, the huge stem faceplate bolts, etc.
Having said that I raced the UCI Granfondo world champs on the weekend with over 2,000m of climbing, I really didn't notice the weight on the climbs, but I certainly noticed the aero-ness on the descents.

Yes, I replaced much of the hardware with titanium, and ditched a bunch of those unneeded washers. However, it is still a bit heavier than my 2015 SW Venge. That being said, it's still way faster everywhere, and the 2015 hangs on the wall more than the 2016.

One of our designers built some brakes for his personal bike out of carbon. He said it shed 37g off of the front.
