I have 2012 Venge Expert (56cm) at the moment and have thought about changing the frame to F8. I have already updated almost everything except the frame (Sram Red eTap, Enve 6.7 wheels and Enve cockpit). Could you describe the F8 about how is it so much better than Venge?
My Pinarello shop here in Italy gave me a hell of a deal that I couldn't refuse because they were tired of seeing me on a Venge. Anyways, you can immediately feel the structural difference when you are mashing on the pedals. Very stiff and it and propels easily propels itself forward with ease. Descending with the F8 down Mt. Etna is much more inspiring than my Venge. On climbs, I could immediately feel the difference in power transfer while seated and or standing.
What I am currently running on my F8 that was transferred over from my Venge.
