BMC porn pics w OpenPro/King wheelset
Been raining here almost everyday that i have off. Pretty bummed out, although I did finally put my set of OpenPro's on the BMC. Took a few pics to post. They are OpenPro's laced 3x to Chris king Hubs. Bombproof. If you can stand the BUZZZZZZZ.

So... yes, it could very well be a 105 cassette, but more likely a DuraAce to match the crankset.
BTW, OP, is that a SRAM Force RD?

I've been eyeing a new set of wheels, and the Chris King/Open Pro combo piqued my interest. In all practicallity though, would those be "race worthy" wheels in the Cat 4/5 field?

That might not a 105 cassette - it says 10S ("S" not 5) for 10 speed. My Ultegra has the same thing

That top tube section by the head tube looks turgid to me - in a good way.
