looking fast seems to be more important to being fast.

Maybe the Specialized guys have been too busy testing shaved arms vs no shaved arms and beard vs no beard that they didn't have as much time to work on the Venge.

If you know something, don't hold back. Share what you know.

Honestly after the Tarmac update, this Venge update kinda feels like what Specialized might do for an update. Could be completely wrong about that. But heat tube/fork change, new seat post, fairing behind stem, maybe slightly change the down tube. Call it a day. Seems like something the big s would totally do.

The downtube is dropped significantly (closer to front wheel). They also cleaned up the front fork/head tube area. Following in the footsteps of Cervelo it seems.

Not to say there aren't aspects of this frame that will be incorporated into the new Venge, but I very much doubt it's the Venge. The giveaway to me is the seatpost binder. They've gone to an internal wedge/clamp on the Tarmac, I don't think they'd use an archaic design on their new aero frame.

this looks like a 795...but uglier and the 795 is not a beauty to start with (but it is slowly growing on me..... lol )

The frame itself looks ok for me, but the stem integration and curved bars, that's ugly as hell.

Seriously? That's as bad as it gets. Where is the aesthetics and soul in that shit? Again this just emphasize the bad taste the specialized design folks have.
