The Easton crank has a preloaded on NDS and adds some Q factor. I didn’t like how that fit as it was further out by at least 10mm IIRC. I doubt that you will need any spacers with the Ec90 crank.
Well damn it I think you gave me an expensive idea. Since I’m going Prisma on the frame and it’s four months out I may just upgrade to the 3T Torno crank...made in the THM factory.

Which of the like 8 different Hambini bbright bbs did you get?

I got whatever Hambini told me. It was a BBright one that works with the Cervelo bikes.

3T Torno if you plan to go 1X. I have one on a gravel bike. Nice crank but proprietary chain rings. Costly if you decide to swap out chainrings...but elegant and very nice aesthetically.

Is that a special Prisma Studio paint? The chrome/black version I’ve seen...the large Factor logo is also chrome.
Yes - part of the deal. I wanted an understated Factor logo and also had initials put onto the top tube nr. the seat post - black again to keep it low key.
