So I've been looking around at all the pictures of your nice-shiny-beautiful BMC's, and frankly I've ran out of pictures to look at so I want some more.
So post some pictures of your BMC for everyone to enjoy!
Thanks..! I'm really happy with the build - these BMC bikes are indeed special.
I have actually ordered new decals for my rear wheel and I will use the time until they arrive to decide if I will ''de-badge'' or ''re-badge''. On my old bike the ZIPP decals was a definitive plus, but here the graphics on the bike itself is really strong, so the stealthy look of the ZIPP's without the decals is actually quite cool.... hmmmm...
Haydos - how do you like the Red so far? I got to try it once on my buddies R3SL, not too bad but I'll still stick with my Campy. How do you like your Lightweights? Are they worth the money?
Red Ergo's are great, rear shifting excellent, brakes excellent, front shifting less so. The Stronglight rings made it better, but I think a Dura Ace FD would make it sweet. Even though, I prefer Super Record functionality and ergo's really.
LW's - well they are lightweights! Not flash in crosswinds or that aero, but stiff. I think i'd prefer Bora's. (Bora's were more expensive at the time so I settled on LW's). Yes heavier, but more aero and repairable. The Edge's have been great, although I spend most of my time on Neutron Ultra's on the EPS.
Haydos - I've always thought that the Lightweights were more expensive than the Bora's. I didn't notice the Stronglight chainrings, they are definitely better looking I think. Overall, your Pro Machine is beautiful!
Here is my 56cm BMC Road Racer. Sram Rival, Zipp 404 wheels + Sram Red Cassette, Ultegra Crankset and Easton EC70 stem.
Its been a great bike, but i will be upgrading to a ProMachine this spring. The ProMachine is Black/White and will be full Sram Red + the Zipp 404 from my old frame + Easton EC90 crankset + EC90 aero bars + Yokozuna cables. I'm wicked pumped for next season on my hot new wheels.:thumbsup:
She's old, but still goes well, added a new sibling to her aswell, purchased a Black Streetfire SSX, should be arriving next week. Will post a picture once i put it together.
Glad to see lots of BMC fans out there. I'm certainly one of the fanatics. :thumbsup:
