Interesting mix. S-work framesets, yet rival build? Either way, Nice looking bikes!
Riderfou, isn't the frame too big for you?

Yeah....I agree. With that saddle height it looks like the frame is perfect size. Short stem says that you have long legs and a short torso.

Yes, 110mm. Seat height and drop are perfectly in the usual range and seat setback is really a matter of numerous parameters and personal taste...
Anyway, why am I trying to justify a thoroughly tested fit when the original point why to share and exchange on w.weenies parts around a great frame
I agree that such a huge frame cannot justify this seat-seatpost geometry and a 110mm stem. A smaller frame with a setback seatpost and a 130mm stem would ride better. Otherwise something custom that really fits you..

what is the weight?
I wish I had an SL4....
Will put it on the scale tonight to get you the precise weight since I changed a bunch of things, but well sub 6Kg

You could make money... With a genius like you, actual in-shop bike fit is rendered meaningless! Setback makes a big difference on power transfer and balance, 130mm stem for me, ridiculous. If you have any kind of cycling experience I am really amazed that you can jump to your conclusions without even seeing the rider and how he rides the bike
But again, not the point of the discussion...
