@Flatlandclimber I agree 100%...but this is weighweenies :-) ... among fishermen the fish will be longer and longer .... among hunters the pigeon will be further and further away ... among boys the penis will be longer and longer ...
@poppiholla I agree 100%...I have never seen somebody from Malaysia or Singapore (just to name a few...) stating that they set up 44 and 49 frames that are not even available in some countries....without considering the fact that the scales used are nothing short of ... not reliable.
My emonda went from original spec 6.92 to now 7.47kg race spec and I love it more than ever :D
Cervelo P5 Disc (2021) 9.1kg
Factor Ostro Gravel (2023) 8.0kg

Does anybody know what this 59 is? Is this a new size? Stack/Reach seems more aggresive.

I noticed that too. I wonder if it's a typo.

Lower stack and longer reach? Maybe it's not supposed to be in that list, but rather is a size produced for tall professionals like Kaspar Asgreen.

Good thinking! If unsure about the colour, just order every color you like

It has been on this forum that the Future stem face plate fits the SL6 S-works stem in combination with out front garmin mount SL7. Here are some pictures of my SL6 Pro disc for who is interested. Face plate is on S-works Stem SL6 (6 degrees 100mm). Looks very clean imho and it is rock solid. I have a totally black Syntace Force 109 stem (6 degrees 100mm) that is very very light and is totally matt black. I will try that later.

Quick question to those already lucky enough to own a SL7 (or similar high-end bikes):
As hopefully a future owner of one of those beauties, I'm currently trying to figure out the storage. Ideally I'd like to continue to use my cycloc solo, but I'm not sure how well the top tube would handle this. Does anyone here already have the same or a similar setup in place and can provide some insight? Same applies of course in case of strong reasons not to use it

Did you keep the stock exapnder plug in or swap that to something lighter? I've always used Arundel Mandible cages because of their superb retention but curious how you find the carbonworks given the London roads can be a little bumpy in places...
Lots of bikes: currently riding Enve Melee, Krypton Pro, S Works Crux, S Works Epic Evo, SL7.
In build: SW SL8

How do we actually order this specific stem face plate though.
Do we have to order the whole stem just for the face plate?

Extralight or Schmolke, can't remember which one is in the SL7 / Allez.

Beautiful bikes all of them, but why on earth would you get three?

So I ordered the S-Works in July as a custom build which I was told would be built around September and tried the Pro during that time and was that impressed bought it as my every day ride and then bought the Expert for winter (dry days not cruddy ones) can't be without an SL7 ride, they're that comfortable 😁
