I've been waiting on the Roval handlebars in a 40 - Sigma initially said April and now July... any ideas when these will be stocked? I cannot track any down - U.K. based.
I just got a second 38cm bar fairly easily for a new build I am getting together.

Have you tried to use the location search on the Specialized website for shops nearby? Quite a few popped up for me. I am in the US though.

What's the going rate for a top quality paint job? Frame only, preferably from a Specialized authorized paint shop. Is there a place to find a list of Spec authorized painters in the US?

I painted mine in Pro Bike Design. It is in Connecticut. Nice guy and excellent quality. His web site states he is authorized.

Looking for some advice please.

My fit is 56 all day long except for the stack. How can I minimise this? Are there alternative options for top caps/stems/integrated bars that allow the stack to be reduced by 10-15mm?

You mean something like this? Super low stack stem that drops the bar significantly in front. Side effect - very heavy

Thanks, however I was hoping for something a little more elegant than that! Internal cables at least

Are there any -17 internal cable stems available? I’m not aware of any presently

This is almost certainly the heaviest paint job they offer. I'm sure the naked satin carbon jobs still weigh exactly the same. If I were racing and didn't want a gorgeous-looking endgame frameset, I would absolutely have bought one of those. Alas, it's the opposite.

Can someone confirm this.
2023 SL7 Expert comes with Rival (not Ultegra Di2) & the price is 6995 CAD.
I'm still searching for a SL7 w/ULT Di2 in size 52 in Toronto, Canada.

The SL7 Comp comes with Rival, for 6,000$ CAD, the Expert comes with Ultegra for 8,000$, as far as I can see on the website. I don't see any in stock anywhere in Canada. There are some available in the USA, like NJ, which might be able to ship to you, but the price is even higher in the US at 8,300$ USD.
