Specialized actually offered 100 of the Sagan 7x framesets for sale, with a price tag of $7,000 (a $1,500 premium over the standard S-Work Venge). We’re afraid you’re too late to nab one, though. According to the brand, every single one sold out within 30 minutes of them being offered for sale.
Still, that won’t stop us ogling Sagan’s bike in the gallery above.
