The saddle, and the stem hurt it, but it's still hot, I say. I hate yellow bikes too, so that should mean something.

For all you Shimano fan boys there is a 7800c crankset on Ebay right now. It is the mother of all Shimano cranksets. You could put it on nearly any bike, and it would instantly become hotness.

I searched this entire thread to see if I posted my bike here. I did not find it. I know i've posted it in the "What road bike do you have" thread but I guess i'll add it here.
Trek Madone 6 Series
XXXLite handle bars, stem, bottle cages
SRAM Red / Force
Wheels shown in photo: Bontrager SSR's. Heavy,crazy cheap, used around my pothole covered city.
Specialized Romin Expert
Apologies if it's a repeat poster.

Hi,
Definitely hot, despite the mediocre photo. The bike deserves a much better photo.

I really want to say hot, especially since I like most BMC bikes, and if it were just the items you listed I'd still say hot. However, even though I know saddles are a very personal thing, that style of saddle just kills it for me, so -- not hot. Sorry.

I had the Red color on my Venge painted gloss black instead of the original red, just to have something original...still playing with the saddle, and bar tape colors and the stem...

My brand new Dogma 60.1. Bought on Tuesday but I was only able to take it out for it's first ride today.
<<edit>> Bar height still has to be decided - hence the spacers.

It's hot, but debadge the wheels. Raw carbon would look great with the Pinarello frame color.

This bike has such potential. simply for the fact it is a dogma I should say hot, but the handle bar to seat ration is no good (Asthetically speaking). the bars are rotated to far forward also. I'm not a fan of the frame color, but if I were going to have to look at that all day I would debadge the wheels. to much going on color wise for ME. if you could debadge the colors from the wheels and leave just the white logo's that would be better.
Again Awesome bike and as long as you love it, sorry to tear the bike down with comments.

I don't know about the rotation of the bars. These are easton bars and in that position you already feel you have no flat on the drops - it's rising up hill all the way. They are a different shape from anything else I've ever ridden.
I agree with you about the frame colour, but I was locked on to the Dogma and it was either this colour or white and violet (low stocks of this bike remaining).
Wheels are a bit colourful I suppose
And no offence taken - if I didn't want to hear peoples opinions I wouldn't post pictures of it on the forum.

I gather you are referring to the seat height?
I do seem to have problems with fitting. I've got short legs - quite a lot of my height seems to be from my upper body. I took this picture this morning before my first cycle on the bike. Discovered the stem is too short during that cycle (it was 90mm and my knees were hitting the bars when I was standing on the pedals pushing uphill) When I got back I replaced it with a 120mm when I got back. So if I had an even smaller frame the bars would be even closer to my knees.

Just finished up probably my last ride on my race bike for the year. No Zipps on this time, but it still looks alright with the Spinergys. Changes since last go around, put the Stonglight/Extralite rings back on, and changed to a 130mm stem from a 110mm. Fit is so much better now.
