Hi guys. I am new on this forum and really enjoy it.  Recieved my R-099's last month. Building up a size 52 for my girl right now. Really happy with the size 54 I am riding. I am definetly willing to pay $50 for the zero offset mould.

Can you give the the version number for the FSA headset you're using,  is it 52mm bearings?? Thanks!

Is it the FSA No.55r 1.5?

Did you modify your headset cup to fit the SL7 set up?

Yes. Also the centering plate that sits on top of the bearing because specialized uses 39.5mm vs 40mm that's more common.

I decided to strip the matte black paint down to carbon and put a clear coat on it.  I also, converted the headset and stem to an SL7 one for more flexibility as the shortest stem and bar combo ICAN offers is 90x400mm which was a month wait for me at the time.  So I went with 100x400mm which was too long for me.  What I needed was a 80mm stem which the SL7 offers, there isn't that many Aero bars out there that offers anything shorter than 90mm.  Plus, with this setup the maintenance is much easier as the cables don't run inside the bar.

anybody have seatpost slippage problems with this frame? thinking of retiring my velobuild 086 for this and the only issue that had was a slipping seatpost

No issues for me.

Let me add to this thread.   Been using it for info before I ordered my frame, it seems like they don't have much in stock except for flat black frames. Got it in a week with express shipping.Originally I wanted the khaki color frame but since I needed it quick I ended up with the matte black one.  All the parts were in great condition and everything fits well. Only issue I had was with the handlebar hole for the fork is too tight so I had I sand that down to get it to fit right.  Hardest part was routing the cables through the handle bar...that was a nightmare!  Final weight 17.7lbs(w/ cages, garmin mount and pedals) size 49 frame.
