Same crank arm length and compact chainring as the group set on my SLR 6 Ultegra model. 11/30 in the back as opposed to 11/34 (I think) on my Trek. Next up will be wheels and tires. The brakes are good up to 28's but there is no way that old Litespeed will handle tires that big so I imagine 25's is all I can get on there. Too bad because I like the larger tires on my SLR.

Already have a stem coming and will need a handlebar, seat and seat post too but getting there.. Hopefully will be doing some shake down rides around mid February. Usually can start getting some real rides in mid-march so that works out perfectly.

All told I'm hoping this build comes in at a touch more than half the price of the SLR 6 I just bought.

You guys are terrible at talking me out of things
My setup with Dura Ace 9000 STIs and brakes.works really well!
