Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Didn't notice that detail in the original pics. Nice touch. You might be able to creep that front der down 1-2mm, though.

Also, I don't know if you have used Campagnolo before but make sure to tighten the lockring to the 50Nm it requires. It really does make a difference in shifting.

Nice ride, but the saturation is a little to high on the photo. Try flattening the tone curve a bit...


Oh... and ride the crap out of it!

Nice sled.

Ride it hard and fast baby. Don't be afraid to scratch dem shifters. It only means more schwag can be justified.

very nice build. ocp points on the harmonious fork/seatpost/stem/bar combo. add more points for campy group/eurus wheels.

Thank you all for the nice comments. I really do like this bike and been riding it hard. I'm going to rack up miles on this one.

Nice looking bicycle, very clean.

BMCs are a sickness, I have 2 and am looking at a 3rd.
