I have gone from an SL5 SW Tarmac and it is definately a harsher ride...but it is super fast so I can live with it 👊
Good to know! Can't wait to get out on mine, just waiting for a 0mm offset seatpost.

For those on the Venge, how does it stack up in comfort? Especially compared to a Madone if you have ridden one.
Put some 30mm wide tires on it and it'll be the smoothest road bike you've ever had.

Just having ordered a frameset I revisited the Specialized web site and didn´t find any info about the stem being included. Which is strange since I´m 100% sure it was mentioned as included a couple of weeks ago.

Any info?

I have ordered frameset as well in Germany, and stem is not included. Am trying to find out if stem can be ordered separately. If not then I’m going For Enve aero stem and aero bar combo

You can buy the stem and bar from your local Specialized dealer. If you want to order online, you can find them here:

I picked up my Venge frameset from my LBS in Winnipeg and the stem WAS included... Stems are available seperately as mentioned (I ordered a 12 sepertaly).. I can tell you they do NOT include the rear cover plate or any of the computer mounting hardware.. you get the basic stem and the front cable guide routing for behind the bar...

Better than Trek frames where you need to buy the Seat mast..... re: Emonda :|

Everything included in mine..
Frame, fork, Ceramic Spd BB30 bearing (pulling since Im going Campy..unfortuneately installed from the factory) Stem and applicable fittings, computer mount, seatpost, rails for both saddle rail types,Bats for Aerofly II bars, grommets.. seems there is some kind of mess up with the stem not being included with the frameset... my stem actually came intalled on the bike with all the spacers under it...

Not quite a Venge question but... has anyone the real differences between the S-Works Tarmac and the Tarmac Pro (both 2019)? Aisde from the 10R versus 12R carbon -- what's that in real weight, etc., difference?

Please just ignore the bump on the stem. I'm still waiting for the longer stem. Before the steerer is finally shortened, I want to see if I can take out the last spacer with the longer stem.

Awesome photos! Just ordered this myself, picking it up after the weekend.

Do you have any more photos?
