Well, it's all ordered. Thanks again for everyone's help. Here's the list of what she finally settled on:
- 44cm Cannondale SuperSix EVO Black Inc.
- SRAM Red 22 Brifters/Derailleurs/Brakes
- DuraAce C24 Clincers
- Power2Max Rotor 3D+, 160mm compact crankset with Praxis rings
- Zipp SL-70 36cm bars
- Essor Flight-Weight Seatpost
- Uno Stem
- Ultegra Cassette
- KMC X11SL Chain
- Pedals/cages/saddle will be brought over from current setup.
The frameset arrived and was unboxed this weekend. I'll post photos/weights as soon as I can and follow with the other components as they arrive and are installed. Should be a fun build on my end; she's excited to ride it.

I think their PF30 has been out for a year or so. Never had one of their bottom brackets, but heard good things. Looking forward to installing it and seeing how it holds up in the weather.

Arundel sideloader cages in Matte Black...
The shortest 3T ones seem to have a 80mm and 85mm reach.
The shortest I've come across was a Profile design one that has a 70mm reach, the Canta SS.
Deda has a Superzero in 75mm reach too.
That being said, different manufacturers have different ways of measuring reach, so the measurements cannot be taken as being directly interchangeable between different makes.
The Canta ss has a similar reach as the easton ec90slx, at least in real terms. Check my both rides
Canyon fitted with Easton, the Scott with Profile Canta SS, both are the same, at least with Campa vs Shimano leavers. Don't know about Sram, sorry!

My meticulous mechanic friend doesn't rate the Chris King BB's as a whole although the bearings are good. He swears by the plastic cupped pressfit BBs as they are more tolerant of less than perfect frame tolerances.

Well it's finally built and she's out for her inaugural ride now. Final build photo before fitting is attached. Will post some more including final weight after everything's dialed in and the steerer is fully cut. Thanks again for all your input.
