SL6 project - few questions

[wheelsONfire]

These look great. But ofcourse, it's your call!

Bontrager has their bar stem combo on sale right now. Although it only comes in -7 degrees.

Where to get it?

The "older model" (just a different color scheme) is on sale for $300 (down from $600) on Trek's website, though only in 42cm and a few stem length options. You can probably also find it for the same price but without tax elsewhere online.

Thanks guys for your input!

I would prefer a -10 deg stem 100mm, matte black. (Yes the frame is matte black). I really like the new Enve stem but I cannot justify a 180g+ stem on this bike!

Bontrager is nice but to me it belongs on a Trek!

the new enve aero stem is very stiff, and it comes with several shims should you want to go lower than -10 in the future.

But still 180g...

i have wcs c220 alu stem/bar in blatte black on my SL6 s-works, matches perfect!

IME any stem under 150g is a noodle,

Lol what?

But still 180g...

Enve do still make their normal stem...

I have a 100mm Deda SuperZero stem (Matt black with black polish details) on my S-Works SL4 Roubaix. It’s 141g and superstiff.

Question: building up an SL6 (S-Works or Pro) frame, what bottom bracket do you use? I am thinking of getting a frame to build with SRAM Red and a Red Quarq power meter, but not sure I'm reading the Specialized specs right for the bottom bracket.

Agree- one of the dumbest comments on this thread

Comes with bb30 bearings that press directly into the frame. Get an sram red or quarq for bb30 and it’ll be a good match

Thanks, that's good to know (already have that on my current race bike, so that'd save me $ if I just switch it over)!

Any crank made for BB30 will fit directly with no spacer required. Sram GXP, any 24mm axle cranks and BB386 cranks will require adapters or spacers.
