Yes I did, though the SL6 is standard BB30 68mm, rather than the OSBB 61mm I have on my Sworks Venge.
Fit normal BB30 cranks with 3.5mm spacers each side.The Allez Sprint that I had I think is the same BB30 arrangement as you, and it fit a Sram Red etap BB30 crankset very easily.
No creaking with either, with BB30 cranks, PF30 cranks, Wheels MFG shimano/gxp adapters installed.
Do you need to install the bearings yourself?

Thanks, this is what I wanted to hear. If I buy cranks second hand theres the likely ball ache of them not coming with the correct spacers if any. This puts my mind at rest.
Indeed my OSBB is effectively the same as bb30. BB30 = 68x42 mm.I ran hollowgram on my caad10 and invested in a proper bearing press and installed the bearings my self. To my surprise there was absolutely no creaking on the caad10.
So I can install the bearings my self no problem. But I'll hold off as I'm still not sure exactly which crank system I'll end up with.
If I end up with bb30 cranks I wouldnt mind a threaded solution like this https://www.ceramicspeed.com/en/cycling/shop/bottom-brackets/bb30-for-sram-dub-road/
But ideally another cheaper brand rather than ceramicspeed.
Did you ever run the supplied ceramicspeed bb30 bearings that came with any of your frames? I'm not sure what I'd get on ebay for mine but I'm not convinced I should keep them.

I think I'll keep this thread just to the tarmac and the inbred build to try keep it neat.
@Acliff Did you run any bb30 chainsets on any of your specialized bikes?
I'm confused about whether bb30 chainsets fit natively onto the frame without using any spacers or not. My only previous experience with bb30 is with my caad10 and the hollowgram chainset.
The frameset came with ceramicspeed bearings. I feel I'd be better trying to punt these on ebay and go with something like the threaded praxis bb30 solution
