I have 3 BMCs, 2 Al and 1 CF. One of the Al bikes is the ALR. Bang for the buck, it is one of the best bikes one can buy, IMHO. It is light enough, rigid enough, does not rattle your fillings out like some earlier Al frames, handles quite nicely but would not be my first choice when going out on 5 plus hour rides as it is less forgiving than some other frames.
