2014 Venge, 2015 Tarmac, or 2016 Venge....
Moderator: robbosmans
Here's the dilemma, in the market for a new road bike, and trying to decide between the Venge and the Tarmac. I have a contact locally who has a 2014 S-Works Venge, mechanical Dura-Ace, Roval 60's, literally brand new for 5k. The other option is the new Tarmac Pro Race for MSRP of $5600. I guess the big unknown or question is what will the 2016 Venge feature over the old version, likely to be unveiled around TdF time. I know the used Venge is a relatively good deal, just wish I knew if the updates were going to be the new integrated seatpost, disc brakes, rider engineered frames based on sizing, etc. Or if they were going to have a major frame re-design, integrated brakes, etc. The tarmac is probably the better all around frame. Either one would work for my style of riding, mostly rolling hills, with some occasional climbing. Thoughts?

Tarmac.
I know some guys who have sold their Venge because they did not like the ride. No one I know has sold his Tarmac because of the ride. They sell it only if they get bored and want something new.

Lot of bike for the money unless you don't like SRAM for some reason.
