I'm assuming they sanded it back for the repaint. I'm curious if a custom or factory paint job would weight more...

I believe most painters leave the base on to use a primer if appropriate, or respray a primer on top of it if needed. Custom repaint should be heavier.

6.54kg complete build

Yes took them a week to sand it right back to bare carbon, then just a day to add clearcoat.

So sick, well done that man!

Any chance of a build list?

Think I see an SRM?

I like the paint, but all those weight weenie parts look wrong to me on this frame. Not aero anymore, but also not really lightweight.

6.54kg.. pretty good, better then I thought it would be

How?

47.5mm lightweight aero wheels (lots of Venge's on CLX50s).

Full paint strip with minial reapplication, I think it looks sick.

Etap / THM / SRM / Extralite groupset.

Aero cockpit.



Really don't know how it could be more aero unless going with 60mm+ wheels, and not sure how it could be any lighter without going for custom cockpit and Berk-esque saddle.

Looks like a regular round cockpit with exposed cables. It's a bit odd on a Venge, but everything else is superb.

Round bars but no exposed cables

[tommyb]

Apart from not liking the feel of Aerofly's the reason for the round bars is I like to ride hilly TT's on it, I can't climb to well on my SHIV.

Complete with eTap blips..

Mind to share what you don't like about the Aerofly? I though about buying it...

[tommyb]

Sure, mainly the flat top section, prefer the feel of round bars, secondly they're heavier, lastly I can't fit tri-bars.

It does come down to personal preference, it's one of bonuses for me when looking for a new bike.
