Cannondale SystemSix Team Si

James, please, what do you think I've been doing since I got home from work:

Bare frame (plus BB30 bearings)

Cannondale Super Six forks (which I will be using instead of the originals)

3T Doric LTD seatpost

Specialized Romin carbon

Cannondale/Controltech Stem

Tune Schraubwürger seatpost clamp

Shimano Dura-Ace 9070 Adapter

Headset Inc. extra low stack height topcap

I need to work out a way of using this cool top cap thing without a star nut

That should screw straight into a bung, correct thread on the bolt.

I liked the Extralite UltraStar 2 - I'd provide a link but the forum borks.

Extralite one

or the J&L one, which as far as i can tell is the exact same

Good spot.

Such weighing, much rad.

You need to tear out the interior of your house as you build the bike.

Thems the rules.

It builds into a fantastic bike though, so it is worth it.

You'd best start stocking up on zip ties if you wanna top dammit's build...

yes... yes... this build is progressing exactly as I would like

Looks good. If you're concerned about weight buy full carbon saddle at aliexpress. Around 95-105g for 15£.
And looking forward to the complete build.

That stem is fucking great, though I think it would suit my bike more ;)

@ChainBreaker has one of these too. With the as-per-catalogue ksyrium edition speciales. maybe you should ask him for build advice.

He's got a basket on his too no?

Will get one, thanks for the link!

Basket? Paleeeeeez.... It's a food carrier of justice...

But actually I don't have it on. That's only for fun of the DD ;-)

Love my/this bike.

Good to have a great thread to read for the up and coming months (no riding due to school) Keep on the good work @spotter looking forward epic build!

Cheers Ho.

For the groupset I've decided on SRAM Force 22*

*Apart from the cranks.

I would have loved to get some ee brakes like Dammit...

...but they're out of stock till next year and cost a fucking fortune.
Another option was the Planet X CNC brakes...

...but Im told they're a nightmare to get working well so I guess I'll just use the Force ones.

And whilst I do want carbon wheels, I think its a bit pointless for the winter so I'll be getting something like A23 rims laced to Novatec SL hubs

Why not Kinlin XR200? And CX rays of course .. OR BHS offerings ..

Why not Kinlin XR200?

Because I'm too big, they have a weight limit of 70kg

And CX rays of course

of course

I've got the planet-x and I think they're brilliant, set up with Sram red levers and PTFE coated brake cables. conversely I found force callipers utter shite

xr300? Also Kalloy stem is lighter than that stem up thread ^^^

I guess I'll just use the Force

Best to trust your feelings on this one, spotter.

Another vote for PX brakes, Joeboat is selling some here http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/256390/

Think I have a cannondale SI top cap and expander in my parts box - not sure of the internal dia. it's meant for but it was too big for my older all carbon 1 1/8 slice forks... might fit yours if you need?

Nice choice for Force - if you decided on ditching the brakes (not sure why you would but...) I would likely buy them.
