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

Was interesting reading Hamilton's book that USPS kept the nice bikes for races and only Lance got the good stuff for training/testing.
