It's the only stem and spacer combo in my appartment that gets me within millimeters of my old bike fit. I could slam it with a -10 90mm. Waiting for the Zeno Q Connectors V2 to come in before i toy around with stems again. I ordered them three weeks ago, who knows when they'll ship.

Build went great. Weight: 7.1kg

Size 50 unpainted (~60-120 grit from the factory).
Derailleurs, Shifters, Calipers: Sram Rival E1
Crankset: Sram Red D1 165, 35/48
Cassette: 11-36 Ali
Rotors: Shimano Dura Ace
Wheelset: XMCS CS-D50CU-36, 16/18 5mm bladed
Tires: GP5000 S TR 32c for the weighin and testing. Installing Michelin Pro 5 TLR next week
Stem: 100mm Aliexpress -17deg
Bars: Lambda X Wing
Pedals: Speedplay Comp w/ J&L Spindles
Seat: Westbiking Carbon Saddle. 

Eddy current gauged to find the areas with thick resin (>20 mils) and sanded down to 5 mils & 400 grit. Recleared matte equivalent to SWorks RTP frames I've fondled. Frame and Fork weights through the process respectively: 972 -> 948 -> 953. 424-> 418 -> 421.

I can probably get to 6.9kg refinishing to raw carbon and cutting the seatpost, going from sealant to tpu tubes, and installing a tiny cassette, but it probably ceases being an all road, all climbs, long distance tank of a bike.

LIGHTCARBON waterslide decals are different logos than everyone else has LOL.
Didnt have tape and hoods installed for the picture since I was replacing them due to a crash on the previous bike. They're present for the weigh-in.

Ported over all the hardware from my Winspace T1550. Pedaling and sprint stiffness visibly higher when looking down riding on the trainer - as expected since the T1550 is a T800 carbon noodle bike. No other differences of note at equivalent saddle and bar positions.

I love the storage size and its no-bag aesthetic outcomes for the bike. My reference for in-bike storage is canyon endurace which is l insultingly small.

I was hoping an unpainted size 50 would be lighter.. With or without storage box?

No hardware at all. No hanger. No storage bag or cover.

Size 50. Unpainted
