anyone ride a bmc?

Is this the point where we ask if the extra testosterone is optional for BMC riders?!? 😎

Good looking bike, I must say.

I've got a Streetfire, and it's pretty good.

I was looking at their track bike but it was quite pricey. It was a full carbon track bike with some new advanced frame technology. That shyed me away from them a little bit, plus we're sponsored by Trek. I believe the BMC track was over $2k. I agree though, they do look really sweet.

I have the SL01. If you race it will be the single best cornering thing you will ride. It is incredibly stiff when out of the saddle, but comfortable in it. I think it is that crossloc thing. I seriously suggest it, the quality is excellent too.

Yes the testosterone is optional.

It is a great machine. I test rode one at an event and it was a very nice spin. You'll love it if you can afford it. 🙄

it's lust right now. i'm trying to research something in the 2500-3000 range as a backup

Here in the Old World BMCs are outrageously expensive, but they are reputed to be an excellent frame.

What does one go for in the US?

the frame is $2,750 US at www.competitivecyclist.com

Wow, not bad. I think they go for a similar amount in Euro here... 😠

Here's my BMC. Sweet ride.

Don't worry, he still has the old Record. That bike is not worth looking at without the new skeleton brakes and the like... :p

Wow. Absolutely gorgeous.

You are my new best friend.

Why the ITM Sword, I think FSA K-wing and someting like OS-115 stem would look better IMO

Absolutely spectacular bike though.

This my Team Machine that I've had for about 2 months and love it. Very responsive

That's one swoit paint scheme.

I rode past a guy on one of these during a charity ride this summer. It was funny to see such an expensive bike (and probably 10 pounds lighter than mine) being ridden so slowly up a hill 🙄

Makes you wonder if the $ could've been spent elsewhere.

^^ Yeah, it is funny seeing big fat dudes on $10,000 bikes, but, as they say, you don't have to be Fangio to buy a Ferarri. What really amuses me is when these big fat guys buy a full-blown racing machine, then complain that the bike isn't comfortable enough, and go to great lengths to 'comfafy' it.
