Hi All,

I'm looking at this road bike, and I figure your expertise here would be appreciated - I want to know if this is a good deal price wise (obviously it will be a little hard to tell not being able to see it in person), but you are pretty smart people here!

2014 Specialized Venge Elite
sram build
sram rival crank and rear derailleur
sram force brakes
axis 2.0 rims and hubs
(apparently retailed was $3699)

This are Canadian dollars here. What do you all think of this? I am a first time triathlete and the bike will serve as a commuter bike too (only 4 km to work).

Thoughts?

Does it fit you? That might be the most important question. If it doesn't fit, then no matter the cost, it's not worth it.

Now, if it were me... That seems like a lot of $$$ for a commuter bike that's only going 4k each day. Way above what I might shell out for a commuter.

Just to clarify it will be both a commuter bike and a triathlon bike.
