overall the bike is very nice. It's light, 18 lbs with pedals and tool bag (a necessary evil for riding, but understood it's no bueno for a photo). Wheels are prone to redirection from cross winds. That single bottle cage is borrowed from the shop because they did not have a new pair to sell me. Waiting for them to come in. Stem may go down one spacer, but I'm going to ride it as is for a while to be sure. I'm 50, so the days of the slammed look are in the past. This is my first bike with Campy. I am growing to like it.
really no comparison to BMC, it was a lower end model, aluminum frame with cf fork.

Wow, this is the first time I've ever had a bike that garnered any positive feedback on BF. Thank you folks. I'm glad you approve. It is pretty much a dream bike for me.

As for the crankset to Ultegra, I don't think Shimano is compatible with the BB30...

- KMC quick link failed, it broke, no idea why or how, I'm not that strong of a rider. SRAM quick link worked perfectly.
- Patch kit worked for a tube.
- Then another tube, for some reason where I commute, someone had broken glass and one night didn't notice, paying attention.
- Multi-tool to adjust my saddle etc.
Love having this kit. It's ugly and cumbersome but it's been useful.
