BMC has way too many logos, weird seat stay, incredibly busy and oh so hot. All that doesn't matter, because it all works together like eggs benedict. Its' a lot going on, but it sure is good. HOT.

BMC would be HOT if it didn't have Zero Gravity brakes. Everything else is good.

Those have to be about the shortest reach bars I've ever seen though.

Ridley looks like it has Cow print. I know the saddle is a personal thing and I'm sure it works for ya, but jeebus those SMP saddle are UGLY. Bike doesn't do it for me, sorry.

I have to confess I wouldn't mind trying a SMP saddle. They look rather comfy actually.

most comfortable saddle i have ever ridden. and I have been riding since 1977, { old guys rule** set-up is not difficult a little tilt and good to go. i plan on replacing my Romin on my other bike with the same SMP saddle. Once adjusted at least for me i have forgotten it even being there. Most saddles i am constantly moving around, this just fits right!

like many, I too, have spent many dollars and tried many saddles from inexpensive to outrageous (SMP?)..,anyway the SMP Dynamic is far and away the best (replaced a Romin btw)

I'd be curious to try one but they're expensive and hideous. One or other I could handle but both? Naaaah.

Yes on the Giant (except the bar tape)
No on the Ridley (too busy for my eyes)
Can't explain why any further...
