Really nice. Also think black bar tape would look great :)

New wheels and bars

Nice. Those bars look great, too. What are they like to ride with?

Haven't ridden with yet, will do a test next weekend and then maybe back to squish and flats

Thanks for the quick answers.

Likely will go with a Fox Step cast or an Enve MTN....depending on if I can justify buying more bike parts and where I see this bike going in the future. TDR potentially!

The whole thing will likely get a frameskin treatment before I start strapping any bags to it.

Edit: is there any alternative to the KP205?

Guy I know just finished building this, looks amazing imo.

Deserves a better pic but then it should proceed directly to HHSRB.

Edit: is there any alternative to the KP205?

Maybe - ultimately KP205 is just a regular 1.5" bearing and an adapter that steps down from a regular 1.5" to 1 1/8th bearing, and a 1 1/8th bearing.

The headtube takes 1.5" ID - or 1.56" - bearings pressed directly in to both top and bottom.

Has anyone got a Cannondale Si crank/bb removal tool I could borrow? Happy to exchange some beer for the favour (i think @PhilDAS wants my cranks) but my Caad7 will be up for sale shortly after I split them!

If you bring it round to Paddington I can remove them for you.

Seen this for sale locally for 140. Tempted.

Are you a giant? That's got to be 63cm or maybe bigger.

It has tiny wheels though

I'm 6ft 5 so it would fit. 60x60 apparently

Now I'm really confused. I bought a Thomson 30.9 for the system six. When I bought it, the seller said it took a 30.9.
Online officially all I can find is that they take 27.2 or 31.6 but I've got a couple of 31.6 posts and they're definitely too big.
The Thomson is too small though. Clamped up it just about stays in place but you can feel the bottom of the post hitting the inside of the tube side to side if you wiggle it.
What size does this frame take?!

Defintely too big?

What SystemSix did you get and what year is it?

Here's another place I saw 30.9 mentioned. I just gotta get some calipers I guess but I'm sure it can't be a weird in between size. It's a mass produced frame

Yeah you can rock it back and forth and hear the post hitting the inside of the tube. I don't know how to tell what year it is

What frame is it? where is the photo?

The only thing I can think of is that it's 31.6 but the tube has been over tightened

Early versions were 31.6

Later versions...no idea. If yours isn't BB30, all bets are off.

Haha and there's me thinking a popular American frame would be straight forward. It's bb30
I'm now fairly confident it's been over tightened. Considering the previous owner tried to sell a 30.9mm post with it

I'm going to try and gently open it up and fit a post in
