I used to be really interested in BMC bikes and I seriously considered getting one until an acquaintance of mind had some warranty issues. He cracked a bottom bracket on his new BMC in the first month. They warrantied it but not without some hassle. He then had a chain stay snap at speed that caused a crash. Fortunately he wasn't hurt. BMC has refused to honor the warranty and they won't give a reason why. They offered him a crash replacement deal where he buys a new frame at a discounted price. The frame breaking caused the crash, not the other way around. Nice bikes but I no longer trust the company so they won't be getting my business. YMMV.

I have another friend who rode the snot out of a Scattante frameset for several years. It was their basic road frame with a carbon fork and he really liked it. He's a big dude that can hammer pretty well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Scattante bike and they are a heck of a bargain.
