Sweet.

Finally, I've placed the order... Rose will fit the BB for my crank - how nice are they! It turns out it's Shimano Press-fit btw..

What's your crank BB? Is it BB30?

I have the same one (Force) in GXP. Wondering if it'll be problematic to fit/problematic later.

p.s. how does it ride!

Great..

Have you taken it out for a spin yet? Do tell how it rides! Better for sprints, downhills, uphills etc!

I'm still dilly-dallying - torn between this, or the new Canyon Roadlite AL 7.0 frame.

With the Rose I'd have it in the next couple of weeks, but would need to get a SRAM Force GXP crank fitted to it - Still not sure it's the best option for the crank?

With the Canyon, I'd have to wait until April. Canyon offer no crash replacement guarantee - but Rose do - 5 year crash replacement for half price. Don't tell the insurance company that!

Leaning in favour of the Rose.. Help me push the button (will a GXP Force Crank work?)

Thanks.

No the new frame is a different BB (Pressfit30) and old crank won't fit and isn't worth fitting (old and it's Apex).

Will there be no issues with the actuation ratios - the front derailleur move over correctly and trim work?

The only reason I'm going for Ultegra is they don't sell SRAM cranks, and it'll cost me extra to get one fitted as I can't do it. I quite like the look of the black ultegra cranks.

I am about to purchase a bike frame, as a replacement for damaged one which is fitted with SRAM Red components.

The new frame, can come with a 10 speed Ultegra crankset fitted which would mean it wouldn't require a trip to the bike shop to get a crank fitted - I would just need to swap the components over and cable it which I think is about time I learnt to do.

But, would the Shimano crankset (Shimano Ultegra 6700) work with 2011 SRAM Red front and rear derailleurs and 2011 SRAM Red shifters and cassette?

All components are 10 speed.

I understand the only non-compatible issue come with mixing shifters and derailleurs e,g, SRAM Shifters, Shimano derailleurs.

Appreciate any comments.

Thanks

Joe

Nice build!

Still haven't bought mine yet.

Was cabling it straightforward (does it come with internal inners for them?).

Thank you. You've all been very very helpful.

I'll stick a couple of pics up here after the build.

Edit should say the crank is the Exogram one which I'm not keen on.

If I was to get a SRAM force BB30 one - it should definitely work with this frame right?

OK I've been offered a SRAM Red BB30 Chainset. What bottom bracket should I get to use this with the frame?

(Sorry to invade this thread!)

Thanks again

Joe

Thanks - I'm confused though, the rose frame isn't bb30 - it's pressfit from what I understand?

Also, based on having to get an adapter - is it worth doing so or getting a whole new crankset that is fully compatible, something under £200? The crank has 2 years worth of use already, so not sure if I should keep it or change it?

p.s. Any pics of build yet? :)

Can you help confirm how I would mount a SRAM Apex Crankset that is currently on a Planet X Team Alu frame - I think the BB is a standard English threaded one - onto this Rose Xeon Frame with it's press-fit 30mm BB?

Will any press-fit 30mm BB fit the SRAM Apex Crankset? Any BB's worth getting that aren't as expensive as the Chris King one? This frame will be my commuting bike so the BB needs to hold up to the rigours of all weather conditions and roughly 5000 miles a year.

Also, what is the size needed for braze-on front derailleur? 34.9mm?

Awesome shot.

This is interesting - seeing what thief's carry about with them.
