re: tOfficial Cycling Thread

Similar story. Found a hairline crack on my trusty aluminum Scott so I stopped riding for a while. Then found a Specialized Venge Frame and transferred the components from the Scott over. I however never really got the derailleurs right and re-componeted the whole bike to Ultegra R8000. Went to 11-speed cassette at the same time. Made some other upgrades while the hood was up. Had a shop dial it in and it’s been a really enjoyable ride for me.

All that said I am jonesing for a ‘19 or ‘20 S-Works Venge or new Aethos Di2 bike. Wifeunit is killing the dream though, lol.

By the way, first ride with Sidi’s yesterday. Also changed saddles to a Selle SP-01 Boost Superflow. Sidis are huge improvement. Saddle is great because it’s padded. My other saddle, Aspide, is carbon fiber no padding. My a$$ is too old for that nonsense.
