Specialized Venge Pro Disc Di2 56cm £Sold

Hey so not sure of the appetite on here but I thought I’d see if there is any interest before it goes on the bay next week for mo moneyz.

Bought this 2020, a different time, pre kids and mortgage etc etc. Too much bike for me now (that ship has sailed!) and am downsizing to a 1 bike garage, so this along with the gravel is going to be replaced by something eminently more sensible and befitting of my circumstances.

In my eyes a design classic and in the ‘pro’ guise is the same frameset as the Sworks in every way bar the decals and paint, including layup and carbon spec, stealth Sworks if you will!

Again same Seatpost and bar stem combo as the Sworks. The broad aero bars really are lovely to rest on, on a climb (or if your in an insane TT position which I have never done)
50mm deep Roval CL50 wheel set, 19mm internal width, with dt Swiss internals on the hubs and round (?) spokes.
Aero optimised for 26mm but I’ve run 25 and 28 no problem.

It rides like it looks, rapid. Really is a dream on rolling terrain and climbs as well as any other 7.7kg bike.
Surprisingly comfortable as well, knocked out 130 mile days on English roads absoloutely no problem.
Ridden in the Alps on better roads and the couple of hundred grams it loses to a ‘climbing’ bike is basically irrelevant for us mere mortals (me).

The odd scuff here and there but certainly no crashing, improper storage or the like. Was a best bike and has been treated as such, (yes I know the chain needs a clean, will give the drive train a proper going over before hand)

Obvious wear to the surface of the titanium railed Specialized power saddle (love the stubby saddle, once you go stubby you never go back) and a bit on the bar tape.

Tyres 25mm GP4000 used but plenty of life left.

Full Ultegra R8070 di2 E-TUBE groupset. Charger included. Gearing is 11-30 at the back 52-36 at the front.
I will throw in 11-34 with minimal (200miles) wear if required, and 50-34 rings if preferred.

As an added bonus I’ll throw in a hambini racing bottom bracket, which was bought but never installed (still in delivery box 🙄) for an extra £120, again if desired.

Will put geometry below for reference. I’m 6ft dead and the 56cm is perfect, and I’m no flexi racing snake either and full set of spacer is still there.
Stack 555 reach 398.

Out front mount included and also the original pack of spacers / filler pieces which came with the bike originally if you want to cut down or slam the stem.

I’ve posted about this elsewhere in the forum but I was getting a bit of speedwobble when descending in the alps on the drops and have gone to the effort of having the headset checked for tightness (fine) and wheels trued (also fine) just in case that was contributing to it, my conclusion is I’m a nervous descender, had no issues on the downs since.

Have probably missed something but do let me know if need more info.

Collection from Catford but could also drive within a moderate radius to deliver but ive got family commitments so might be a bit of a delay in delivery to figure out a time.

Anyway if your in the market for an aero bike, they literally don’t make them like they used to.

This should really belong in a museum….
