That's a defy 2
and that's a defy 3
White - silver difference I guess
I'm in Canada, it's indeed different from the states, we have defy 1,2,3,4 with different color themes and spec I think. Your defy 3 2010 is our defy 4 2010, and we have the defy 3 which is a sora group'd one, This year our defy 3 changed to yellow, probably to avoid any further confusion, I think our defy 1,2 are the same tho.

I've got silver FSA Vero Crank arms and rings, black brake levers on my 2300 group, and the factory mistake carbon seat post. I like your black Vero crank arms and rings. Looks to me with those differences and ones I've seen in the past, all on stock bikes, the bike build must depend on who shows up for work in the factory that day.

how did you get the crank upgraded without a price change on the F5? or did you already have those?
My first step in getting back on the bike after 25 years. 2010 Felt F5 team, 54cm. Dura-Ace 39/53 crank, 11/23 cassette, Speedplay Zero Titanium, cages, tubes, repair kit. $2200 out the door from my LBS. Yes I know the stem needs to be flipped, and maybe lose a spacer on top. He insisted that I ride it for at least 500 miles this way after such a long break.

Just crossed 1400 miles on my newish bike and finally snapped first pics. Entry level I picked up in January and she's been doing great. Tad bit heavy though at 24.6lbs, with everything pictured minus water bottles, according to the bathroom scale.

Nice bike! My early 1980s Ciocc San Cristobal was a pro-peleton worthy bike in her day and weighs about 22 pounds. The lightest CF bikes are a whopping 7 or so pounds lighter. Big deal. Unless you're an elite cyclist at the top of your game, it is a lot easier (and cheaper) to lose seven pounds off your gut/butt than off your bike.

Hate to bust your bubble but 7 pounds on a bike is a big deal. The difference between climbing with 7 extra pounds is very noticeable whether it is on your bike or your waist.

Love that Promachine
I've always been a fan of BMC, something about their bikes is extremely attractive.
