SPECIALIZED S-WORKS VENGE *LIMITED EDITION* (TOM BOONEN FRAME) CAMPY *ENVE WHEELS* ONLY 200 MADE!!

[@arrigostrina]

I personally think that this "old" Venge frame design (2011-2015) is much more beautiful and interesting than the current one. It definitely made it a unique bike of its kind and perfectly distinguishable from the others. An icon of contemporary bike-design.

[@GCPerformance18]

yea 1st gen venge will always hold a strong place in my heart I had 3 of these frames like this and I honestly think this is where trek got the madone idea form it looks identical

[@pe3117]

Thats an analog master piece...is like a Ferrari F50

[@GCPerformance18]

thanks so much, it stil sits in my brothers garage he doesnt ride it anymore just lieks to use it for wall art lol

[@stevengraham7627]

Beautiful bike, it's held up well over time.

[@GCPerformance18]

Yea we’ve taken good care of it

[@marcovanlieshout6443]

Back then the bike to have, super detailt and those Chris King hobs are super, love the sound

[@GCPerformance18]

Yea the bike was ahead of its time when it first came out. Amazing

[@erichui1241]

I was getting my pounds to kilo converter but you’ve actually provided the weight in kg this time 😂 cool bike

[@GCPerformance18]

lmao I will od it much more I promise lol more to come hahaha

[@bikotic]

This needs to go in a gallery :) love it - trumped only by a Pharma-Quick Step paint job. 11-23 haha, pretty flat where you are...and that stem!

[@GCPerformance18]

Thanks so much :)) yes we’re south Florida like the only thing we have to worry about is a bridge here and there. Which we can go up in the big chainring. All we have here is cross winds :))

[@LazyGrayF0x]

Working on campy is no big deal. Campy housing is not necessary. Super cool bike. I have S works venge first year from 2012 with da9000 and enve 6.7. Will hang on my wall as art before I sell it.

[@joelfr023]

Love your voice and your explanation! Good work to review all these bikes .

[@GCPerformance18]

Really?!?! Thanks so much!!! I hate my voice hahah

[@suprakar]

Wow thanks for that sound test. I didn’t know that existed. Really cool!

[@GCPerformance18]

your very welcome and yeah I didn't know either until my brother got those wheels and showed me back then but very cool and this is similar technology to zipp 454. I think it is very cool

[@JDRVP]

@@GCPerformance18 I have the exact same wheeset with Chris King R45 hubs on my red 2016 BMC Teammachine SLR01. I think the 6.7s are perfect for the flats. Top tier wheels on a top tier bike. So in love. Thanks for giving the 6.7 CKs the accolades they deserve.

[@Aditya-fv9xv]

Mechanical campy in rim brakes on that lovely frame no less❤ bike porn at its finest

[@GCPerformance18]

yea it was an amazing build at the time and defiantly aged like fine wine!!! this bike is amazing and still a joy to ride :)

[@sonnshined]

Thank you for the metric weight conversion 😂 👌👌👌

[@GCPerformance18]

Thank you 😁😁😁

😍beautiful bike

[@GCPerformance18]

Gorgeous bike 😁😁

[@jetBlue_83]

I have campy chorus and I HATE the thumb shifter. Good thing I’m not a sprinter because it takes some real hand gymnastics to reach the thumb shifter from the drops.

[@GCPerformance18]

Yea honestly it would be impossible to shift gears in the drops lol

[@yonglingng5640]

That's one of my reasons to not like Campy too. They're also hella expensive.

[@Cycling_in_ja]

Sweet 👌🏾

[@J-tu3hw]

Very cool bike ...! Is that a chain catcher on the front derailleur? Speaking of wars -- could you one day comment on your experience with rim brake pads for carbon wheels? Thanks!

[@GCPerformance18]

Yes it was and also the brake pads work great on carbon clincher. Just make sure there right. I put a pair of enve pads on roval wheels one time and it turned the braking surface yellow so just use the pads usually come with the wheels

I agree

[@raphaeltiziani7476]

Nice bike. Would prefer a red Tarmac Sl7 though. Is that a 11-23?

[@GCPerformance18]

Between me and you. I would take the red sl7 too lol. And yes that is a 11-23 south Florida riding 😁😁

[@Matricardi98]

hello, i will buy one of this size 54 with ultrega di2 and carbon wheels. how much is the frame worth today? thank you very much for the help

[@Matricardi98]

are there really only 200 frames?

[@GCPerformance18]

this frame is a 56 I m sorry I do not have the 54

[@tylerbicyclegeneration6562]

Great video🙌 Any chance to see the saddle and helmet??

[@GCPerformance18]

Naw.... that’s lame

[@cliffcox7643]

11-23 rear and big front chainring? Someone is making a statement!

[@GCPerformance18]

lmao, you should see my buddies venge 1x set up 54t chainring and 11-23 lmao thinks hes a tough guy

[@lievengoerlandt7598]

Black yellow and red is the belgian national flag. Tom Boonen was Champion of Belgium in 2009 and 2012.

[@GCPerformance18]

yes, I said that in the video :))

[@rivasyoung]

Can the frame run a Di2 setup ?

[@GCPerformance18]

yes it can be done

[@1bojanbojan]

I KNOW A GUY WHO LITERALLY PAINTED OVER THIS EXACT MODEL FRAME!!! ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM THAT WAS!!! Sure he was rich but he had no clue of the art he was destroying. Whomever painted it over for him should be charged with a crime. The dude is part owner of District Taco, a franchise in the Wash DMV area. Cycling Team name is District Taco.

[@GCPerformance18]

that is brutal, this bike was a work of art for sure the sworks was so beautiful

[@turner02]

that one fugly bike tho.

[@GCPerformance18]

Noooo it’s beautiful but I understand. I called it a McDonald’s bike for a while when he got it

[@armurox]
