Just scooped myself up a mint 2015 SL5 S-Works Venge. Super excited to get it put together and fitted. Coming from a 2014 SL4 S-Works Roubaix disc Di2. Looking forward to getting on this simple yet fast bike! I think I will keep it for as long as she’ll last me. They seem to be sought after more and more!

I have the 2015 S works venge black on black edition with Dura Ace. In my opinion, that bike is perfect. I haven’t seen an improvement in the last seven or eight years that really improves performance beyond that bike. That’s not to say I haven’t fallen for the new tech but i’ll never get rid of that venge. Love it!

fixing that fork would be an easy enough, you just need two carbon tubes, one tube same dimension as the fork steerer long enough to give you the added length you want and the other tube is the sleeve that will fit inside to connect the extension to the fork steerer. its a simple matter of bonding them together. you can also make the sleeve really thick or even put an alloy insert inside that way it will be really strong and you wont need a plug inside of it.
