I can't see the BB5 being great at any particular type of riding other than pleasure rides. It can't handle fenders for commuting and too heavy for long/fast rides. It does look great though.
I think it was the looks and idea of it that initially drew me in. After riding one that was best for my size I realized the fit was off too.
