No worries. Just for GC. When I’m back home the 6.7 are mounted back on.

Maybe because it’s a 58cm frame, but for all the hate the “speed sniffer” got at first…I think this looks great! One of these days I’ll have the SL8 Expert in gloss pine green (one can dream)

It looks good with the Rapide Cockpit, since they’re different spacers. Looks horrendous with the regular stem, unfortunately…

Thanks!
Do you know if the ready to paint version weights significantly less?
Figured it was worth sharing a pic of my pro.
Replaces an SL7 Pro with SRAM Force and I’m smitten with it. Love the colour and 12sp Ultegra.
7.6kg setup tubeless with 28/30s, a very heavy saddle, pedals, cages and mounts etc.

Lol I did end up grabbing a S-Works SL7 from someone that got an SL8

I have the SL8 pro with Sram Force etap AXS with the high rims and it weighs with bottle cages and pedals, 7,7 kg, somewhat higher then catalog…
Spec is 7.44 without cages and pedals. So 7.7 sounds about right, no?

The roval wheels and Force group are kinda heavy compared to what I’m using.
Finally decided to do something about that Chimney today.
I had forgotten how much nicer the proper topcap looks
Also got the bike down to 7kg with some light 353nsw, dura-ace cassette, carbon railed saddle etc.
Not sure I can make it much lighter without spending a lot of money on a lot of marginal gains at this point. None of the really light cranksets go down to 160mm either

I love it, I just wish the decals were a bit more subtle

Which bolt are you using for your top cap?
