His previous bike (2007 Trek 1500SLR) had been through a few crashes and by the end of last summer he was uncomfortable riding it. Add getting a new puppy and somehow a new frame bumped down on the list of priorities until this summer. I'm so glad we waited! Here is an album (http://imgur.com/a/Mubg4) of his new Specialized Venge Pro OSBB with Campagnolo Chorus. Seeing how excited he was building the bike and riding it to work this morning was 100% worth it - I can't wait for the two of us to ride together!

Speaking of absurd commuters... (http://www.reddit.com/r/bicycling/comments/1ezt4t/quarter_life_present_new_bike_day/)

The Venge will only be his commuter until we can afford to buy him a bike specifically for commuting. He raced a little bit in college and hopefully this bike will allow him to get back into racing or whatever/wherever else his passions take him. The original plan was to get a more reasonable frame until we can both afford Indy Fab but there was a crazy deal for this 2012 Venge frame (only two left and one was his size!).

A few guys in our club got Venges at the end of last year. It is an AWESOME bike!!! It should be a great race bike. Lots of luck to him!!
