I love seeing setups like this. It means the rider is enjoying their bike more than worrying about what others think. Does look pretty whack though.

Ah, I see must be. Perhaps I talked to you about the Team Machine frame a while back. Either way, congrats! Bike looks amazing!

BMCs are Hot! If they keep up making these sick frames, I will definitely get one as my next bike. In a few years unfortunately...

Mostly Mischief
Here it is, a SuperSix, 95% complete. Still missing the weirdo cups to interface with the BB30, so I can get the Campy crank on.
The catalog shows the color a lot more blue than this near black specimen. Yes, it's supposed to be blue/white!! But, with an employee discount and 4 day delivery from the Cannondale warehouse, I'm not the one to complain about such details.
The group is Chorus, which seems like the best value. I didn't want to invest in that 11 speed chain peening tool that Park makes, so for now I used a SRAM 10 speed Quick Link. Ordered the Forster 11 speed specific link.
Compact crank, 12-27 cassette, size 58.
The stock bars were too wide and with this modern funky shape, so I had to swap for a retro looking ITM set. I also flipped the stem, threw out the Fizik hatchet, and got some Easton EA90SL wheels.
16.6 lbs as pictured.

It's kinda heavy(19.5lbs without my riding kit eg under-saddle bag, mini-pump), but it has full Ultegra 6600 and decent wheels. I plan on upgrading the bars/seatpost/stem and that should save some weight... Eventually I'll upgrade to a better frame using the components from this bike, but that's a ways off!
I'm a slow newbie and I like my bike. 19mph averages can only improve!
