Thanks arizona.

Bely, I really like the cages. They work exactly like my King cages on my other bike which is great considering how light they are but my experience with them has been short as I just finished this bike in March. What helps is I wax the outside of my bottles with carnuba finishing wax for cars. This helps on any setup I've had. Easy in and out and bottles appear less scuffed over time.

Monte, I'm 6' and have a 35" inseam.

I also have a set of Alpha 340 wheels, what are you rims laced to?

This is getting me excited to receive my 60cm frameset. I think I will slap sram on it as well. Great build and weight.

Just out of interest what seatpost standard does it take? I have read conflicting stories and don't want to order incorrect finishing kit.

Also I am hoping I can achieve a similar fit to your setup having gone from a 58cm cervelo R5 to a 60 cm evo. Love the level stem look but it needs to fit. I had it pretty dialled on a 61cm caad 8 but it could have done with a few cm more drop.

How are you finding the ride and the newer sram red 22? It certainly looks amazing with the spider rings!

I believe 2012-2015 takes 27,2mm with the previous Gen accepting 31,6mm and the current SS using 25,4mm. The ride is very good but my previous bikes have not been road race specific of this caliber (Cervelo S2, Ti road, Argon 18 Krypton, Allez) so I am stepping up in a big way. I do not have Red22. All my wheelsets are 10spd only and I won't make the jump until I have to but I do really like the feel of the 2013 Red I have now considering my other bike has Dura Ace which is so so smooth.
