I may be able to obtain a  S works Venge  Vias but we are still struggling negotiating on the price.  It is not the special edition color of Peter Sagan.   It was bought for a big amount but the  owner changed his mind and wanted a Bianchi instead. I wanted to utilize the SRAM red with BB30 crank.  The S works houses BB 30.

Peter Sagan rode on a traditional bike last April 10, 2018 winning the Roubaix Paris race.  No Di (electronic shifting) and only rim brakes.  We are reminded of him dumping bike with Di that failed (dead batt).

He quarreled with PR and Marketing of Specialized.  

So why dont we have a Tarmac of SL6 carbon bike frame even for a show if not the skill, strength and speed of Peter Sagan

                                                     Sabi ni VM, start ng Surname namin, could we sue?
