That's pretty much what we've been saying, except:
- Oldest Hollowgram was Hollowgram Si, not SL. There was no 'Hollowgram SL'.
- The Si chainset is available aftermarket, but he might mean the 165mm Si chainset is an exception and cannot be bought aftermarket.
- there are two versions of the new Si chainset - the Hollowforged (then machined) version and the forged version. The later looks completely different to all other Si cranks, and is basically a plain old forged pair of crankarms that happens to fit the Si axle.

Si is available aftermarket in 165mm because I've just ordered it but maybe they meant in the US?

I was less interested in crank versions and more interested in q-factor and chainline and if there were compatibility issues with axles and cranks. When they say you can't use 104mm with SiSL2 they don't mean that, they just mean it might be too narrow for your frame I think.

They use 'SL' to refer to the SiSL crank arms, but that's a lazy shorthand. Cannondale Experts are using 'SL' to refer erroneously to the original Si crank :)

Yep, you can bolt it all on, but the arms might foul the chainstays and the spider is moved inboard by 2.5mm.

That said I think there's a tonne of clearance on my CAAD10 with the standard SiSL2 setup.
