Title: Vitus Venon
Post by: zilcho on August 29, 2023, 08:25:49 AM

I was wondering if anyone knows what frame the Vitus Venon is based on? I know they source some of the mountain and road frames from Carbonda/FlyBike but I can't quite place the gravel frame.

Same. Looking for spies/answers.  I just spotted this bike/frame.  And it might be the ticket to replace my current Vitus alloy frame as an all-road do anything dropbar bike.  I did get the answer from Vitus that it clears 650b x 47 with 6mm of mud clearance.  Which should mean I can clear 650b x 2.1" with 3mm clearance if not riding in mud.  I'll plan to run everything 700x28c, 700x40c, and 650bx2.1" depending on the setup I need.

Wow, this frame checks off everything I'm looking for.  Also interested if there's a direct vendor selling this.

I would think with what they spent in promos of this bike they probably have that mold locked up for a while.

I am in the same boat I love the new ridley kanzo adventure. Checks all boxes internal dynamo wiring front and back. It looks like a carbon bike packing dream but not gonna see that for a while if ever. I like it a bunch just not four times the cost of something else.

Thanks for that but I want the new model. It is slacker with dynamo routing and drop stays. More set up for travel than anything else

This one.

Anyone snag one of these with the CRC/Wiggle bankruptcy fire sale?  I was very close, had the size in my cart, but was then sold out when I was checking out.  This one still checks the boxes and I wonder if it will resurface as an open mold or with another brand.
