Unique Vintage Steel
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.

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

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

cuda2k,
still have my campy hubbed velocitys, but cannot find anyone who will rebuild the rear, as it was built for the original 8 spd setup. I bought these wheels as a get me by until i could afford something better. The saddle is there because it is the most comfy saddle i have ridden in years. Now about the stem..why is everyone hatin' on by bright shiny stem, that has been on it since it was built..lol..thanks for the replys

The workmanship is excellent and the hubs sound very smooth.
Here are a few photos of the weigh-in today without tires
Lighter than expected at 1528 grams for the wheelset

I only like a handful of BMC's. your bike is on the fence of hotness but as much as I want to say hot, I stop myself equally to say not. There is something about that bike that just really works, but there is something about it (I cant point out what it is) that is holding it back. (it isn't the computer) might be the tires?
