Seems like non-US markets have some early supply. Not hearing too much stateside about people riding '19 Venge or getting framesets :( Patience, patience, I suppose.

That frame looks amazing! Congrats on adding that to your stable. Question for you, what size stem shipped with the frame? And was it the -6 degree version?
Thanks! It came with a 100mm -6 degree stem, just as the geometry chart shows on Specialized website.

Had one in a group ride this past Saturday (in Dallas).

^^^ That is good to hear. Hopefully we start seeing them out and about soon in FL. I'm curious to hear what their owners think of them.

Agreed. Didn’t get a chance to chat up the owner to see/hear what he thought. Hoping to get my eyes on the battleship grey frame at some point IRL (was on tv this weekend...sprint tri event on nbc sports).

Yeah, the color options are terrible right now. Here's to hoping that the battleship grey is so much better IRL than what I'm giving it credit for. Because the black is just blah, and the Sagan is impossible to get (and you better be damn fast and wearing gold shoes if you can source one -- I'm not quite there :)).

If that is the battleship grey then as usual the pictures on the website don’t do the colors justice.

My Sagan 56 frameset arrived today, with some wires and junction box on the way. Hoping to build it this weekend!
Do you know the frame weight?

Itˋs not mine, but as an complete bike, this colour is more or less ok. I hope Specialized is going to release more colour options pretty fast.

Yes, exactly. I put my WU111 in the downtube and taped it to the B junction. It transmits to my Garmin 510 without issue.
We don't have any known issues with the wiring setup. It was actually first inspired by the Quickstep and Tinkoff teams who routed their TT bikes this way with the old Junction A taped under the saddle.
You can also use shorter wires than we suggest if you prefer. We errored on the long side so that for the biggest frame sizes you'd still be able to pull your seatpost all the way out and take your bars off easily, etc...
wow, that's exactly what I was looking for, is it possible to you to post a photo?

Tks
Of my bike or the wiring diagram? I did post a photo of the general wiring diagram a few pages ago if that's what you're after.

frame (with seatpost and all the small parts, bb, derailleur hanger, thru axle etc) = 1480g
fork (uncut with thru axle) = 550g
However, I didn't weigh the headset and the spacers.

Thanks for that, I've got a sagan venge on the way. How much of a weight difference would you say the Paint job adds if you had to guess?

Yikes, pretty heavy.

My 54cm 2018 Venge with the blurple paint:
- frameset all the hardware you mentioned with the nonaero dtswiss heavy thruaxles and cableguides: 1,491g
- fork uncut with front nonaero dtswiss: 493g

Most of that 400g they saved must have been the headset / stem :)
