Special edition paint work for S works Via Venge

The excitement and the hoopla over the Bianchi Otre xr4 project has worn off. And time to dream and reinvent our desires.

Here are my plans:

1. Of my six bikes; 4 rb, and 2 mtb, I plan to retain the two Bianchis - sell the Mosso 710 (may buyer na),
return the Fuji SL 1 to VM ( I got the Cosmic wheels but returned the frame and Campy Rekord group
set. (May interesado na yata sa frame at groupset) and the Mosso Falcon MTB.

2. What will remain will be 3 bikes: 1 Sava MTB, two Bianchi: Francia Celeste and Oltre XR 4. I will have some cash to invest in a new carbon fiber

3. What interest me now is an American frame, S works. Via Venge, one of the expensive lightweight carbon frame American brand (2nd to Trek Edmonde) There is the Peter Sagan special edition and the colors would make it more exciting.

The Di2 wiring and brake cabling run through the long stem and into the frame

The Slovakian rider has always had his own style. Now he has a unique world champ paint scheme to match

It will be curious to see whether Sagan leaves the broad tops unwrapped, as the aero engineers prefer, or will have them taped, like Cavendish did last year

Parang Toseek (but the OEM comes with its own drop bar)

May glitters at multi colored

Iba set up ng preno V brakes style at sa likod
ng fork

Very colorful, rainbow hues

With the exceptions of the saddle, pedals and component group, Specialized has the Tinkoff bikes covered tip to tail

Ano kaya afterwards, di na ako magproject:

It would cost:

Frameset P42,000

SRAM groupset 18,000

Wheelset 25,000

Tubes and tires 5,000

Total 90,000

Sources of funds: SRAM - nabili na

Wheelset - nabili bayaran na

Frameset : 42k

Sale of Mosso 710 - 25 k

Fuji 30k

55k

If you order direct from supplier: Price: $700.00 + $75.00 = $775 x 52 = P42,000 excluding shipping
and custom duties. So a $950.00 x 52 = P49,000 would cover overhead and the hassle of dealing with
Customs etc ..

Just like my present Bianchi. But it will give me an opportunity to use my GS SRAM which uses BB 30. S works uses BB 30

Durace GS and Roval wheel set with UCI stripes

The unpainted version was the one used at TDF
