The Emonda SL is a pretty awesome bike, comfortable and stiff at the same time, though brake clearance is pretty tiny so not much choice of tyres size.

So long as I can fit my 25C Vittoria Corsa CX on there then I'm happy!

So excited about it now - only problem I've got is whether I go for Frameset only, as I've got most of the bits to put on, and suffer the shiny finish with white highlights of the SL8 model or go for an awesome matte black SL6 complete and just strip and sell the bits.
There's a £950 difference in list price, is that worth it for the matte finish.....

25mm will fit nicely.

I believed you already made up your mind about the black SL6, despite the SL8 being the more rational choice for the money.

The SL8 is really shiny in person which look a bit cheap unfortunately (even with a full DA groupset), the red SL6 look better in comparison.
