I need a recommendation please for a company that can do a retro-fit on my Felt AR FRD. Frame is Electronic specific and I want to run Red 22. I contacted Calfee carbon out of Cali, but they are too busy right now to do any retro- fitting. I am sure there are more companies out there doing it. Any recommendations???

I had the same issues when I got my frd. I wanted to run SRAM. In the end I used SRAM red bb30 cranks and ultegra di2. Too costly to convert. Ultegra di2 was pretty cheap.

Exactly what I plan on doing. The new Red Etap paint crank would look great, even with Ultegra. And maybe to keep the weight down, Red 22 brake calipers. Thanks

I went with a tririg aero front brake and ultegra direct mount brakes for the rear.

A while ago, i had a frame converted from mechanical to electronic by Calfee. Yes, the wait time is long and the cost is high. However, they do a very vey good paint job.
I highly recommend using their services if you want to keep your frame for a long time.

I reached out to Calfee and they are not doing any retro-fits anymore. Not enough demand!!

Contact Ruckus. They modded my Colnago EPS from mechanical to electronic. They do good work. Ruckus also does good paint work, but mine was painted by Vélocolour.
