Did he check your ID??

As I am sure you are aware, BMC has a racing team that competed in the Tour of California as well as others. I saw the pros on the road training at the start of the ToC. BMC has been involved in racing for years and I see BMC bikes on the road frequently. Aluminum is the choice of criterium racers for its stiffness and ability to accelerate and many race Cannondale and Klein aluminum bikes as well. Now you need to get a BMC team kit (they are bright red) to match the bike.
