Does anyone know the part number for the seatpost di2 junction box plug that was used on SRAM builds? I have S189900103 but need the plug that covers the center hole, since my build is 12sp.

Do you guys think the 2019 Venge is still a bike to consider as an aero bike or is it considered "obsolete" now with all the new stuff arriving to the market, including SL7, Dogma F, new Canyon Aeroad, etc?

I wouldn't say obsolete but if the SL7 becomes an SL8 that is any more aero at the same weight then yes

Depending on the color scheme, the MY19 Venge frameset is around 100-150g heavier than the SL7. On the other hand, the Venge is more aero than the SL7 and can be built sub 6.8kg. I don't know how that could be obsolete in the next years.

What wheels when you make it 6.8 KG?

I have pretty much the same parts on both my Venge and Tarmac SL7.

While my Venge is slightly heavier (less than 80 grams of that)......I prefer the Venge over the Tarmac.

In fact, the Venge is one of the best bikes I've ever ridden.

What about compliance?

I ride a Venge and a SL7. Equipped with the same wheelset, tires and, most importantly, the same tire pressure, IMHO there is 0 difference in compliance. I also believe that if the Venge was not presented in 2019 but now, it would still be a huge success and sell like crazy.

You'll be hard pressed to find a 2019 Venge on the second hand market, and when you do it resells exceptionaly well. Nobody wants to sell their frame because it's just too good. I still get other riders cooing over mine.

No wonder, if it is the same as 2020 it is one of the best looking bikes ever! And extremely light for what it is, especially compared to the overal market competition.

SL7 is nice,very nice. But 2020 Venge is just something else! Only seen one or two on the second hand market in Sweden and they resell just below close to the Tarmac SL7

This. I got a used one last winter and paid about 2500€ for the frame, plus shipping, plus the little bits that the seller didn't provide. It was non-SW, although the frames are identical. Took me a while to find an non-SW (I don't like flashy stuff)
