Really enjoying my Terra C Adventure. I changed the supplied Fulcrums for some Hunt wheels as my weight was testing the Fulcrums a bit too much. Also had no problems fitting 45mm WTB Riddlers (tubeless) on to provide a bit more comfort on longer gravel rides. It's a really responsive, sturdy bike that gives you a lot of confidence on rough terrain. Looks great as well!

Has anyone seen a review of the Venturi? It's been out since about April and I can't find any. Looks like a potentially good value aero option...bar the wheels, obvs.
I was talking to my LBS about the Venturi earlier this week and he told me that they had initially had a number of problems including paint issues and something to do with short seat posts, but according to the Orro owner they are all now resolved and ready to go
