For roughly the same price I can get either:
1) 2017 Specialized Venge VIAS Pro Disc udi2 (Slightly Used, near perfect condition) - $4,400
2) New Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 8.0 Disc (Di2) - $4,050 (10% discount from my employer)
My main use is local group rides. A good amount of climbing, descending, and open flats.
I also participate in a time trial series, some local crits and will be doing 2-3 road races this year.
I like the look of both bikes, but the Venge is the nicer looking bike in my opinion. If it comes down to "Buy whichever looks better to you" I'll go with the Venge.
Both bikes are at the top of my budget, so I won't consider a higher spec'ed model of either bike.
Which would you go with, and why?
