— McLaren Venge Aero Road BikeBike company Specialized has worked with F1 racers McLaren to come up trumps with the McLaren Venge road bike, which will be used this weekend in the Milan-San Remo competition by Mark Cavendish, who won back in 2009.
As you can probably tell, Specialized is asking quite a bit of moolah for this one—over $8,000, in fact, though I'm reliably informed that that's not bad for a bike of this caliber. That's for the McLaren Venge, which will be available in September, but there'll be a cheaper one out at the tail-end of April, called the S-Works Venge.
It may be a road bike, but it's taken on some of the elements of an "aero" bike, weighing just 950g for the frame, and 2.07kg with everything screwed on (for the McLaren, anyway—the S-Works will weigh a bit more, at 2.18kg.)
Best of luck to the Milan-San Remo riders this weekend—we'll be watching out for news of Cavendish's winning streak continuing with the McLaren
