Current weight 7.8 kg with pedals

Waiting for SRAM Red crankset with power meter to arrive

Where did you get this frame? Do they sell it in the US?

[pamoreira]

Anyone knows of any companies that make/sell frame protection kits for the SL7?

I normally use Invisiframe, but they don't list the SL7 kits in size 52 (which is my frame size). Any other alternatives similar to Invisiframe?

Anybody got pictures of an SL7 with an integrated bar/stem combo? Something like the Bontrager Aeolus RSL or similar.

Related question, why doesn't Specialized offer one? I know they have the Alpinist, but it's not really aero focused at all. The only reason I can think of is that a lot of their big name sprinters like Sagan and Bennett like to use other stems. But the current combo of the tarmac stem and aerofly bars is heavy; mine comes in at 412g for 110 and 42. Meanwhile the Bontrager option is 120g lighter.

I'm actually looking at a stem/bar combo option for the SL7 as well. I found Deda Elementi Alanera DCR, which not only works with SL7 but also has a top cover adapter for SL7 (item code# HDALADCRTCSPEC1) which would enable the full cable integration, with no visible cable at all.

That looks interesting. The other one I waas looking at was the Black Inc but I'm not sure how the cable routing would look. There's also like 3 different Canyon options.

I don't think those would work with the cable routing of the SL7, the dedae looking interesting though

Are there any numbers comparing the stiffness of the 10R frame to the 12R?

Outside of buying protective film and installing yourself, your best bet is to go to a place that installs PFF on cars.

Some aren't willing to work on bikes but there are a few that will.

I got a friend who is working on my SL7 and I can post a few pics when he is done.

***Edit***

I forgot to mention that another good idea is to call bike painters in your area. I'm sure they know of people who are willing to wrap your frame.

I've been mulling over the idea of the SL7 for some time now. Does anyone have an idea what the wait times currently are for a frame set order in the US?

I just bought one. In the NY area there are a few bike shops with frames available. You can check it in the Specialized website. The frames are sold out in the website but it has a link to find bike shops near you with the size and color you choose.
The shop I bought mine had the Aerofly II and whatever group set you want.
