cervelo s5 or s works venge

[jack smith]

i am after buying a new frame to do a custom build with for the summer i know these bikes are rather different but what would you go for? the s works venge or the s5? the venge is a great looker but the cervelo will kick its ass performance wise but i think it looks abit box shaped and square?

The Venge looks good, i love Cervelo's hard choice, but i would go for the S3.http://www.cervelo.com/en/bikes/s-series/s3.html

 

[jack smith]

the s3 is gorgeous and would be my choice without a doubt, but i can only get it from my local due to insurance ( dont ask why ) they also have a cannondale supersix evo in team colours that is lovely

Do you have much experience or riding these bikes?
I'm curious to know what makes you believe the S5 will kick the Venge's ass performance wise (It will not btw)

If you come to London I can let you try them back to back.

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

If you want to take me up on the offer to try both bikes, my best mate owns the VWD S5 and he has just purchased a Venge to crit race on.
On our local route both his and my fastest performances were done on Venges and he is in no doubt. As are peleton magazine who have tested both and found the Venge to be faster

You know a Venge makes sence (DISCLAIMER: bias as f#%k views and opinions)

Think the S5 is slightly more aero but it looks awful

Would be between the Super Six Evo and the Venge for me

The S5 would first need to pass the BMC TMR01 and the Dogma 65.1 Think2 before it even got close enough to kick the Venge's arse according to peleton magazines test

Good call, that super six evo is an incredible bike seriously underated.
Blew me away when I recently rode one.. Outstanding bike.
