NBD to me – Got my end game machine

As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder…

To me the beauty of a bike is defined by the Specialized Venge Vias.

The fact it is no longer produced made finding a disc brake one in my size and in desired condition a lengthy mission of LOTS of surfing all kinds of second hand websites throughout Europe.

After months of searching, I finally found one in my size, taken care of and a seller that was trustworthy, serious and willing to ship to my place.

It is with great pride and joy that I can now retire my search for "the bike of all bikes".

Yes, I know, it has 2 different wheels, that's how it shipped, these will be replaced in due time.
Yes, I know, it's not electronic, it's mechanical. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with mechanical shifting, it's great to have an analog machine that doesn't scream for a charge of a battery replacement.
