Enjoy the build and when you can afford it upgrade the wheels. Nothing wrong with R500's but they are very basic for a frame of that calibre.

Look good but are they good for you ?I know I won't be getting carbon wheels until the summer when I've got more money, I just went with tried and tested for the time being I can't decide between 50mm or 80 odd depth rims though I think I might go with the deeper ones I think they look fab on the venge
As I said before they are all integral parts of a bicycle.Components / frame , make your mind up
Really.........Not really .
I'm starting time trailing soon and it is what I really want to focus my cycling on, I couldn't afford a good road bike and a good tt bike hence going with the venge, I think the lower profile and shorter head tube will help get me into a better position. I'm picking the frame up nextweek so hopefully I'll have it knocked together in a day, I've already done things such as set up the bars and cables under the bar tape ect just to slide on to speed up time
The frame is ready for me to pick up however I'm busy all week well I was going to be, now I'm just ill hahaIf you're going stealth the stickers on those wheels pick off pretty easily. I think buying cheap now and then saving up for really nice wheels later is a good way to do things (rather than spend more now and have less to spend at a later time).
Not seeing a pic of the venge yet is killing me though!
Yeah , ive been ill a bit todayIt
