Re: 2016 Specialized Venge? [Ahillock]

Where do the derailleur cables go? I do not see a rear derailleur cable, wireless Di2? Would be weird for it to have pedals but not cabled. I am guessing this is not real.

I see brake cables and a Di2 junction box.

Zoom in on the image and the RD wire is visible. Just run very tight/cleanly.

Why is there an upside down lavalamp posing as a seatpost?

I am guessing this is not real.It's reasonable to think, in 2016, there won't be any derailleur cables. Shimano and Campy both have electronic. And SRAM, of course, has the not-yet-released wireless groupset.
Given that, it makes a lot of sense to make a "no-cable" frame, especially for something that's really a high-end, aero race bike.
I have no idea if this is real. But it would not surprise me in the least.

Where did you find this?
It looks odd to say the least. It seems like they just deepened the downtube, bolted a new seatpost and the stem fairing on and called it a day.

I'd be surprised if the next Venge didn't have integrated brakes... nevertheless, this looks pretty cool to me...

on the outside there doesn't appear to be too many changes (if this is legit)... i'm kinda surprised since (i think) this would be the first revision since their windtunnel was opened.

Also, non-aero handle bar on the S-works version? I am suspicious.

this is just the current Venge with a spazzed out seatpost and a bento box no?

Nope, that's not it.

I would suspect this is just one of many fantasy prototypes they have floating around. That seatpost would be tough to market aesthetically, likewise with the fairing behind the stem.

Well that's just plain fucking ugly.
I learned a long time ago that the only pertinent information you offer is found within the last sentence.

I expect something less clunky on the next generation.
What I find interesting is the flat section that forms the base of the bento box. The Venge top tube curves a lot at the junction between the top and head tubes and I think the notch for to dust cap is totally different without the funky aero dust cap.
