GoatandTricycle-
Saddle, perhaps actually.
I've got my eye on this: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/360512/#comment15871695I discovered wide saddles last year and it changed my
arselife. But I'm kind of loathed to switch. With that said, the Power looks like it might be a good choice for me.
I'm sure my Aliant R1 Carbon Wide could net me £200 on eBay or £80 here, so i'm over half way.But i'd then need big S bar tape. Because i like everything in at least pairs. ARGH.
@TotalShanner, yup. Snake Eyes it is. Would have been the perfect accompanying bike to the Purple CAAD eh... Can't afford a winter bike now and in the age of disks wheels aren't really what's holding me back here.
I might make a guest appearance at a local club ride in the winter on this and see what's said. "Hi, i'm new to cycling and wanted to learn more about the club" tsk tsk tsk.
I always enjoy blatting around down here on bikes because nobody knows who i am 😉 #solo

3T stripped and on its way back to Merlin Wednesday.
Lost a Di2 cable and junction in the frame so the BB has had to come out. Sigh. I was hoping for a graceful extraction.
SL7 is ready to be shipped.
130mm stem not.
Hopefully they’ll both land here tomorrow.
Ordered/purchased
Hope threaded (yesssss) BB.
Hope RX4 Flatmount F+R.
Hope bar plugs.
Di2 junction for seatpost
Wanted/Need to buy:
Di2 cables of many lengths.
Di2 wireless and ridiculously priced thingy-ma-bob.
Bar tape. Ripping the old (new) off hurt, that’s for sure. At least I only need to wrap half on these fancy aero bars. 😎
I will comment on Specialized’ manuals; they’re exceptional. Step by step build on the Sl7! All cable lengths etc detailed too. Still, I’m going to see if I can make what I have work before I take the costly just buy all the correct cable approach.
I’m hoping an absolute max of 2 weeks and this will be rideable. 6-8 weeks for it to be finished. No current ETA on Hope callipers.
