Feddesman, get an H2 Emonda SLR or a straight-up endurance bike.

Same problem, canyon endurance bmc roadmachine etc got almost same seatpost length with size 54 and stem 130 mm.
But I will wait untill the dealer got a 56 to see it.

I built a 56 as well, at least, changed the mechanical Ultegra for Di2, and swapped out the CLX25s for 404s.

Nice paint!! Looks like the child from a black S-Works Tarmac and a Bianchi :mrgreen:

Yeah :D not too far off Bianchi's celeste, something a little different than the army of matt-black bikes we see in Oz these days

To the guys who have given weights for the SL6 frames - does your figures include the BB bearings which I'm assuming come from Specialized already pressed in similar to the SL5? Ta

Really dig that paint, I liked it in their pictures but you can't always tell colors perfectly from stock photos. This is pushing me towards getting one of those and swapping parts over.
