Ready to build

---------------------

7.55kg or 16.66 lbs as pictured.

I will fix the saddle angle and eventually cut the steerer. It also needs bars taped and brakes bled but I'm waiting on a 110 mm stem to come in so the brakes aren't connected. This shouldn't be a problem for trainer duty while Mother Nature comes around in Wisconsin.

Overall, pretty cool bike. Cable routing was nice, and it came out a little lighter than my SL6.

-------------------------
Still going to wait for the 110mm stem before I trim any brake lines even though I heard others have switched between 100 and 110mm without an issue

Better build pic:


--------------------------

Got the SL7 bled and bars wrapped. Still need to figure out position, final saddle choice, and final wheel choice. Overall, super happy with this bike so far!



------------------------
3D printed mount arrived, Only bummer is the stock cap screw with the SL7 is too short (11.8mm) to reach the sled nut. I believe this needs to be a 16mm cap screw.


Stock Mount:

------------------------

Really nice experience with this Shapeways 3D printed out front mount so far. It plays really nice with the Garmin and Bontrager Ion Pro RT. Only thing I had to purcahse was a longer M4x16mm bolt since the one that came with my original SL7 mount was only 11mm long.





-------------------------
Local shop hooked it up with the stem swap. 100mm for a 110mm. Swapped my 100mm specialized for a 110mm s-works. They actually gave me an extra 100mm with the frameset so now I have both 100 and 110 stems. I have black titanium bolts on the way, but this one came with the stock specialized Ti bolts.
Also arrived: S-Works Power Arc 143mm which I'm pretty pumped to try out. I rode a 155 Power last night and it was OK compared to my Arione R1 Open.

16.92lbs as shown
CLX 50's should be here next week to replace the CLX 64's

Beautiful bike, and great to see one in white.... but I really can't fall in love with that handlebar... looks like a spaceship handlebar. I would choose a nice looking aerobar..

I love the bike and the bars! Well done.

Nice build! What saddle height is this?

[kppolich]

Nice build! What saddle height is this?

787mm from Top of Saddle to Center of BB.

[DanielNorway]

Thanks! Im guessing you have more than 1cm clearance to min insert?

[kppolich]

Thanks! Im guessing you have more than 1cm clearance to min insert?

Yep, probably 7cm of seatpost not showing

[DanielNorway]

Ok, so max saddle height is around 855mm?

[kppolich]

Ok, so max saddle height is around 855mm?

Max Saddle Height on a 56cm with stock seatpost is 835mm.
That is shown below and measured from the Center of the BB to the top of the Saddle Rail Clamp.
If your saddle rails are higher or lower your actual top of saddle measurement will be different.

Thank you very much!
