Madone SLR vs Venge Pro
Am trying to decide between these 2 bikes.
Pros and cons of the Madone:
+ Red (which is obviously faster)
+ Force eTap, which is the groupset i want
- Potential BB90 issue - if it happens, i will have to ship the bike internationally for service
- Comes with lower trim wheels
Pros and cons of the Venge:
+ Light
+ Service issues will be a lot easier to handle
+ Comes with wheels that have the same aero profile as their top end ones
- Comes with Ultegra Di2 - so i will likely switch to eTap at some point
Honestly, were it not for the BB90 issue, I'd get the Trek. It looks bad-ass and is specced exactly as I want.
Anyone ridden both bikes and have any comments on how they feel? Which one feels more nimble/lively/quick to accelerate? Or any ownership experiences that i should know of, before i pull the trigger?
Re the BB90 issue - is it just a matter of adding loctite or swapping the BB cups to slightly larger ones?
TIA.
