Looking to get a new bike in the next couple of months and have pretty much narrowed it down to:
1. 2019 venge disc
2. 2019 Madone Disc SLR.
Haven't had a chance to test ride the new venge so I can't comment much.
The Madone Disc SLR however, was available for test ride and my initial impression was that it felt fast. Bike shoots forward with every pedal stroke but I can't help but notice that the new Bar Stem combo was very flexy.
Could literally see the bars flex when you're pulling at it during sprints and that's not something I enjoyed very much.
Is it supposed to be like that for added comfort? Haven't read any reviews that mentioned that so I'm hoping it's not just me.
2019 Madone Disc SLR flexy??

Have you ridden bikes with aero bars before? Most aero bars are inherently weaker than bars with round or egg-shaped tops due to the flat construction.
