Slammed or not, who cares? You could put ape hangers on that bike and it would still be HAWT. :D

Curious about this as well...

Definitely flipped with spacers under the stem looks better than slammed with the stem upward (IMO). I'm no good at physics, but I'd expect the former would actually handle better for most people than the latter.

Oval cranks use a SRAM-style spindle that tapers at the end. The drive side bottom bracket bearing has an inside diameter of 24mm; the non-drive side is 22mm. You'll need a Shimano BB, where both bearings are 24mm, for a Shimano crank.

I seriously wish that BMC was mine. I would love it. I would take care of it. I would ride it.

Don't be a H@TER ;)
The more I look at this pic, the hotter it gets(except for the satchel). The subtle red accents... sexy. Sram Red looks so damn good.

That was taken during a ride and not a posed picture.

In the saddle bag is a spare tube, 2 tire levers, 2 CO2 with a head, a multi tool and a tire boot. Just a bit too much to carry in my jersey pocket.

Is this better? ;) It's the day i got it.

On a bike with a sloped top tube the stem looks best when it is parallel with the top tube, that is to say, angled up. Saying that this looks best however, does not mean that it looks good. It's simply the best one can do with a sloping top tube which is an objectively poor aesthetic design. Most compound the poor aesthetic by angling the bars up to match the stem which in turn points the hoods at the sky. The whole look can get rather cartoonish on bikes with steeply sloped top tubes.

The bumble bee themed BMC hits the mark even with a sloping top tube. The handlebar is level as it is supposed to be. The shallow slope on the top tube helps this bike a lot.

None of this however, will ever look as good as a bike with a level top tube and stem to match.

Red, yellow or chrome bikes are allowed to break the above rules in proportion to the gloss of the paint.

Hot... but the front brake cable housing run looks weird, probably due to the calipers being used and the cable entry. Also, one of the few times that if Shimano made a carbon crankset it would be preferable aesthetically...

SirHustlerEsq 01-04-16 03:39 PM
Hot but the chain is out of place. Shimano everything or nothing.

That's what pockets are for.
Mountain bike, jacked stem is not hot.

I need to slam that stem though...

Frame is heinous, poverty wheels, stem is flipped, saddle is pointed at the front hub, bars are higher than the saddle. You need a fit.

I'm guessing this frame is 1-2 sizes too big for you?

I'm really liking how this bike feels/handles. I know I have a bunch of crap on the bike, so be gentle.
It's pretty cool that you can now get a saddle-bag big enough for a bike stand and took kit.
