Ventum NS1 road bike?
Anyone here have any direct experience with this?
Sounds like they started with tt bikes, then branched out, but have been changing their degree of customization significantly, as older reviews don't match up with with the current website.
This should take you to my cart:

Below is a link to the specs they sent me when I asked about its apparent omission from the website.
Also looking at comparable bikes from Canyon but my top pick won't be available until the winter in my size.

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for you interest in the NS1. See attached Rival Spec Sheet.
We do have good inventory on the integrated NS1 cockpit that comes with the higher-end NS1 builds, and can upgrade to the 1-piece bar/stem on a Rival build for $400.
Our average lead time if around 6 weeks right now for new NS1 orders.
Let us know if you have any additional questions.
Best,

Ended up going with Canyon since an outlet bike was immediately available and for an add'l 10% discount:

Road bike geos are pretty dialed now (within categories - e.g. racing vs. relaxed/endurance), and carbon frame quality is generally good across the board. So I think it generally comes down to availability, cost, parts spec, and (most importantly) color.

Is red the fastest for bikes, just like with ski gear?
