As it turnes-out, the Venge racebikes are actually 'stock' bikes in the sense that they are the same McLaren lay-up schedule that you can buy from Specialized, but with the Team paint (and a reinforced steerer tube, that you can also get).
Do you know if the OPQ bikes are all/mostly McLarens or are some on S-works.
Perhaps it's because I have an S-works that I'm looking for an answer to affirm my purchase
but the cost of the McLaren frames is such that I'd be very surprised if any team had the $$$ just to supply those to the ho-hum domestiques. Was interesting reading Hamilton's book that USPS kept the nice bikes for races and only Lance got the good stuff for training/testing.
