Lol...a dead giveaway for me is the tape marking the insertion point. Knowing me...I'd forget to pull the tape before snapping the pic.

He got banned? This is news to me. I ahve been not playing on Bike forums too much as of lately. I'm not saying that he shouldn't have been banned at least due to about 5 other threads. With this thread, he was pretty much dead on in regards to shooting a bike for "curb appeal"

those BMC TT bikes are hot. Lowcell's was not a fluke.
Anyone seen Lowcell?

I wonder if BMC will get criticized as much as Trek for locating brakes below the chainstay? I bet not. The road bike in the top photo has them located there, and of course the TT bike does as well.
If the right company releases such a feature, it is a marvel in innovation. If Trek does it, it is a gimmick that surely won't last.
Beautiful bikes, by the way! I give them both a "hot!"

I have a Jamis TT bike that has the brake under there. It's is exposed, but not all the difficult to work on.

I don't understand, what's the controversy about having the rear brake under the chain stays? Seems like a neat idea to me.

Hard to adjust if your wheel goes out of true while riding. You'll have to stop and F with it…also tough to open it if your wheel is really bad or tighten it if you need.

He had some nice bikes, particularly the BMC and Colnago. The rest are ok. But I believe he didn't own these all at once, noted by the components and wheels. He just probably bought new frame sets and swapped out the components. Who knows I maybe wrong, to make me a believer, I would've lined them up and took a pic. I myself built quite a few HIGH END bikes this past year, but would be redundant to keep them all, if I had I would've been kicked out of the house and divorced.

UCIMBZ was banned and 2ndGen hasnt been back "voluntarily" since his collective "beat down" several months back I think.

Also means you can't get a 'magic spanner' from the team car when you get dropped. I suppose they could adjust the saddle instead...

All you need is the Garmin head unit and the bintrager duo trap pickup in the ear chain stay, that will do your speed, distance and cadence, dump the bontrager head unit and sensor on the front of the Bike.

Sorry for the cell pic but it's all I have right now. Never posted this bike with the white wall tires.

I guess it's a WW thing, but that post clashes horribly with the rest of the bike. I suppose a gold stem might balance things out, although I'm not sure it's in good taste.

I like it. I say hot! Would prefer black tires, but it's not a dealbreaker. Hey I've read your thread on those shifters, but it was a while back. How have they held up for you? Are they stil performing well?

Wow, the white almost looks like there's some kind of chrome cover running all the way around the tires. Looks pretty awesome! I mean I really had to look to see where the bike stand ended and the tires began, and I thought there were some kind of chrome fenders in the mix or something.
As for the gold post, a gold headset would look pretty awesome to go along with it.

Thanks! Shifters have held up well. New bike has a full MicroShift gruppo, so expect a review of their newer stuff soon.
