not impossible .. I used to have it on my S5 all you need is the correct size spacer, I use a carbon 10mm stem spacer filed the inside to 30mm.

Where there's a will, there's a way! Saved about 130 grams from the Rotor crankset that was on there and I think it's a much cleaner looking crankset on the frame. 8)

Ingredients:
2 Parts Zipp to direct fit BBright adapter & bearing kit (search google for part#)
1 part FSA spacer
1 Part inventive and anal retentive mechanic and voila, a perfect fit :thumbup:

We used most of the Zipp kit (Bearings and 1 of the conical spacers and then used some of the spacers from a FSA kit to get the chainline perfect. Took a bit of trial and error to get the right sized spacers lined up, but it's up and running and smooth as silk.

Good to know! I tried once on my R5 and quickly lost patience. Looks great though, I love those cranksets.

Wow that is an amazing weight for a frame that size with no super light weight parts.

How do you like the bottle cage?

Yeah, I try to build my bikes to be light AND functional, so no uber crazy lightweight parts that are too fragile to actually ride (or too expensive to justify). The frame was only 814 grams to start with, so that's an easy foundation for a lightweight build. With my 202's on there she drops down to 5.77 Kilo's.

I really like the cage. While it's no weight weenie part (comes in at about 42 grams) it's got a great grip, with an easy entry / exit. I think it's also a stylish looking cage, which is really the most important part..LOL ;)
