Needs a bit of color...All black is boring....That said, it's 94 degrees and that's HOT!!

Don't listen to this guy. He had a BMC promachine and he sold it.

So did all the pros that had one.

Ok..give it too me..it is a Dreesens, built in 93 (small builder out of SE Pa)
upgraded to Campy Athena 11 spd 2 yrs ago
original Syncros stem
Vuelta wheels
Ritchey seatpost
Selle Italia SLR saddle
This bikes has lots and lots of miles and smiles on it

Better background.
Better lighting.
Align crank arms.
Align valve stems.
Level saddle?
and personally I think you should just take the stickers off those wheels they make it look cheap

Don't totally hate it, but it needs some cosmetic work to be hot.

I hate that stem you have, it would look much better with a better looking/slimmer forged quill stem. Too much black up there at the handlebars, change the tape to match the color of the downtube logo or go with something that contrasts with the frame color. Change the seatpost to an alloy seatpost that matches the color of the Athena components.

How do you like the Athena components?

Still have this one though, as a beater bike....What type and year is it Mr. BMC know it all?

Cut down the steerer a good amount already this is a drastically new position for me plus the fitter said i am very symmetric so slamming it right now would not be the best idea. Black chain rings in time lol. The red bolts would be hot. I think the white hoods might take a bit away. I am very happy with the bike so far to bad for all the snow and salt. Thanks 85 degrees and going up where are you carbon wheels!

Pedals are going soon for some light weight titanium ones need to get this baby under 15lbs. If the bike had more red i would have considered a diff saddle but really love my toupe. The arione it came with had a red stripe but not for me and to heavy. thanks

wkg,
Unfortunely..no garage door..so kinda stuck with the wall. Have thought about taking the decals off those wheels since i bought them and yes the saddle is dead level front to rear.

RJM,
i love my bright shiney stem..as far as the tape, i have thought several times on changing it too yellow, but just could not pull the trigger, always seem to stay with black (shows no dirt). I originally had an alloy seatpost, but in a quest for just a little now cush i went with the carbon post recently (really can not tell much difference). The Athena stuff has been great, absolutely no issues

That would be a castorated roadracer and your beater my friend beats the crap out of alot of other trophy bikes in here.

So I was just taking my own advice putting my shiny new black 34t chainring on, and I broke a Sram chainring bolt in half. So I took more of my own advice, and now I have a set of Red chainring bolts on the way.

Absolutely agree with this one...

Nice lol. KCNC bolts?

Nope. Went with Aerozine. I prefer the bolts that have a 5mm, and 6mm on each side over the the slotted Shimano style like KCNC uses. They are just so much easier to deal with.

Dreesens: you got the frame and the group right. Deserves better wheels, stem, and saddle. All in all, I give it a moderately warm with the possibility of much more.

New Reynolds wheelset arrived today ... :thumb:
Remove 1 decal or all decals on each wheel?

Those are some of the worst looking wheel decals I've ever seen. Peel them all off.

^^^ peel.

For some reason, the only wheel decals I've ever liked are the Zipp ones. They just look awesome, idk why.

peel them both but leave the small white square

Winner ... the naked look is it!

http://www.bikeforums.net/attachment...8&d=1325822975

All off and replace with black gloss Reynolds decals.

Not!

I like it naked with the white square!
