You are shorter than I thought...

I'm 5'8" but bought a 52cm. I'll most likely be using a 100mm or greater stem, compared to my 54cm TET with an 80-90mm stem. Should equate to about the same?

Didn't take any pictures of the Omniums on the FTP, but even with BB spacers on both sides the crankarms barely hit

Do you have a double crimped version (crimp near BB and crimp over the "J" in the Fuji logo)?

So I guess single crimp guys are destined for the FSA carbon cranks? Are there any other cranks that are known to work with the single crimp frame?

I have the same frame as you (the one with the 'etc' sticker) and omniums fit fine. The non-drive crank arm is a bit close - I'm running 175s since I'm doing a pursuit build so shorter arms would be fine. I might add a 1mm spacer for comfort. Many frames have issues with omniums - you don't need to resort to the fsa with the 113 spindle.

Supposedly there's a new version of Omniums coming very soon that aren't as thick on the inside of the spider.

I don't think the spider is the issue on this frame... but does that mean the older Omniums will sell for cheaper?

I'm not worried about clearance issues on my frame, I'm just wondering.

Looks like I will be buying the FSA carbon cranks, or trying to crimp them by hand, or filing down some crankarms... Cane Creek integrated headset, Reynolds Ouzo Pro carbon fork, Easton stem and bars. Pics to come
Hello tony, welcome. Me and one of my buddies each bought one, so thats 3 known FTP's in STL now.

We both ordered 58's, I got a revised one, but my buddy didn't.

Here's how mine looked less than 4 hours after opening the box:

Ehh, I gotta agree with carelton on this one...no matter how much you polish it, unless you clear coat it, its back to this level of dullness after only a couple rides. Its gonna be my beater/street bike so that I can "reserve" my track bike for race days, so I'm really not concerned with how it looks, just as long as it doens't look like everybody else's FTP.

It actually looks more like a Bridgestone/Anchor PHM9 than it does a Tiemeyer




If you can do that paint job it would be sick.
