Like most stories, this one starts with me not intending to upgrade. But the deal was simply too good to pass up, and getting that deal on my birthday, well, it's like the universe was telling me what I needed to do.

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
Up to 2010 Easton was the supplier of the nano technology carbon fiber used in the SLC01 model. Hence the Easton stamp on the chainstay. And the ones that came built by BMC had the Easton bits on them as well. This particular one is a size 57 that I built myself in 2008 using Shimano Dura Ace 7800 (top of the line Shimano at the time) and stayed true to the BMC tradition by using all Easton bits throughout. Stem EA90, Handlebar EC90 SLX3, seatpost EC90 and fork EC90 SLX.
Well, "kinda like mine", if used broadly..

Picked it up from Craigslist in excellent condition despite its 8 years old. Has Columbus frame and Shimano 105 groupo.

Heh -- your build sounds kinda like mine, except for me substituting a couple parts -- my SLX01 has EA90 wheels and an EC70 stem (for now), plus its Streampost that can't be swapped out anyway. At least its shifters are 7800 (got 6600 derailleurs) and the bar's an EC70 instead.

The seller sold it to me for $450! It's supposed to be a good thing but it makes me wonder if I really got a good deal since the bike retailed for $1410 new according to Bikepedia. How much did you buy yours? Did you change any parts on your bike? Mine is completely stock. I realized my stem is more upright than yours. Do you know why?
