Four piston callipers front and rear is an interesting (heavy) choice! It’s a large frame admittedly but heavier than I’d have expected for a 1x. What are the wheels?
At 100Kg going down a hill at 80+kph I'll take a few grams over a 2 pot setup. These are my 3rd set of RX4s and I've got some RX4+ on order.

Wheels are Hope RD40 - 1495g pair

Big bikes aren't light. And light bits aren't for big bike riders. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Even if you say that bigger riders have to go with heavier components, proportionally, most of the time, bigger riders "win" as the share of bike weight is way smaller for a bigger rider.

It was included with my 10r frameset, but I presume that's because the parts box was marked S-works.
When did you buy the frame? I got mine right when they were released.

So that's how they justify the $300 price increase. I joke, but I'm kind of mad now that I didn't get the mount with mine.

Does anyone have a couple of the stem spacers spare?
and/or the bearing top cover (the one on the frame underneath the spacers)

Not noticed this on mine, did it clip in when it was installed?

I ordered online from a shop across the country. I don't think they would be able to help.

yea it's completely clipped in. Wondering if it's because of the the negative 12 degree stem or if the top cap is pushing it up or soemthing

Very happy with the final result! Size 54

What made it lighter:

* Darimo seatpost (I have a new spare one, matte, 300mm, no Di2 port I could sell, DM me)

* Alpitude bottle cage

* Speedplay TI pedals

* Deda traforato tape

* Aerothan tubes

* 3D printed wahoo mount

Plan to change the crankset to Clavicula whenever my power meter model arrivesImage

Have to turn to the gurus of the board as I am a bit lost sizing wise for sl7

Have done 2 bike fits plus another one from the old bike and still cannot figure out if it is 54 or 56.

173 cm , inseam 84, pretty flexible.

Fit 1. 621 handlebar stack, 484 reach, 172.5, height 741, 35 stack, 100 stem

Fit 2 631, 477, 172.5, 765, 25, 100

With the old r5 beinf 54 frame 636, 473, 172.5, 772, 35 stack and 110 stem.

So given all this numbers is it a 54 or a 56. One fitter is adamant it can only it 56, the other says 54.

I’d go with a 54. I am 181cm with 86 cm and ride both 56 and 54. I need a 120 stem on the 54 though

Tried to DM you about the Darimo but ended up sending an email!
