Best SL7 i've seen!

But seeing your Workshop in the background - is there a german shepherd or something like that for protection? I probably wouldn't sleep at night knowing all this awesome stuff is the "shed"

Rumour has it that if you go there to collect something you get picked up in a black Cadillac truck and a hood Put over your head till you arrive.

Awesome rebuild!

What’s the weight delta between the SL7 seat post and the Darimo seat post?

And what's the difference in compliance? The standard SL7 seatpost has been criticized for being too stiff.
Cervelo P5 Disc (2021) 9.1kg
Factor Ostro Gravel (2023) 8.0kg
S-Works SL8 (2023) 6.3kg

*weights are race ready, size 58/L.

There's around a 70g saving with the Darimo, I expect maybe 80g when they release the in-line post in 2036...

I've never felt that the standard post was hard, in both offsets.

The Darimo maybe has a little more flex, but I'm 88kg and it's still perfect, for me.

Sick build! Love the SL7 in all black, those Carbon Ti look stunning. What chain are you using, default DA chain?

Love the choice for the Dravit Grau decals, beautiful color. The bare look is cool but liked the pop from the blue more. Nonetheless, very much sick build. :o

does those fancy hub really worth the premium over a set of extralite?
It almost cost 2 pairs of extralite......and extralite still lighter, unless you really want centerlock
Would be interested to know how you find the hubs. The engagement mechanism certainly looks much better than Extralite, so I assume that the pickup is significantly improved.
it still just a star ratchey, don't really see any thing special about it
also I'm not riding a mtb, what extralite offer are more than sufficient on road anyway, even so, I don't see how engagement point alone jusitfy the price

Paint is essentailly a stripped bare frame with gloss top coat, and the decals are BMW Dravit grey (with gold flake under light).
Did you save any weight with the new paint job, and if so - how much? Did you keep the serial number under the BB shell? Great looking build, after two open mold frames I dig clearcoat-only paint job more than the regular paint.

I have a 52 2021 SL7 running SRAM RED AXS. Could I switch out the original SRAM clx-r 140 mm rotors for other brands (aftermarket or shimano) without alignment problems with the red calipers/pads. Also my front and rear rotors are 140mm. Can I switch the front to 160mm?

How do you like the Tactic hubs? How's the sound?
