Guru Venio Bike Setup:
Campy chorus components, campy khasmin wheels (will replace soon and use as trainers), FSA (seat post, stem, bars), profile design sonic csx aerobars, and fizik saddle. Summary:
I spent several months test riding bikes in order to find one that would excel on race day and be forgiving on long training rides. I tested Madones, Tarmacs, Felts, Cervelo soloist, and surprisingly the Venio came out on top. At first I was set on carbon since I already owned aluminum and steel frames, but the ride was great. Granted the bike normally comes with ultegra components, I opted to put on campy chorus (far smoother than ultegra). The bike handles corners great, the frame is responsive and dampens shock on bumpy roads. And it accelerates like no other bike for that price range! Strengths:
Customizable! My torso is short and legs are long so having the ability to have a custom frame makes a huge difference! Weaknesses:
Not carbon so slightly heavier, but it is scandium enriched aluminum which does decrease its weight and strengths the frame Similar Products Used:
Trek madone, Cannondale RS
