Your wheel selection seems odd. You got a pro level bike, but a wheelset designed for mere mortals. What are you really gonna ride with?

The aksiums, while pedestrian, actually look really nice on that bike. But I'm not a fan of deep section wheels anyway.

Those wheels are so sexy. I want them for my white CAAD9.

Absolutely incredible bike, I love BMC's.
This wheelset is pretty incredible, i'm a clyde so a bit harder on wheels than others. I was descending at 55mph on these things and they felt rock solid. I am not that great at climbing but again these things felt super stiff and put the power to the pavement.

Yeah i was a bit surprised to find the EC70 Seatpost had the silver top; I assumed it would look like the EC90...didn't have a choice, came standard with the configuration. But hey...i'd be bored to tears in a few months if I didn't have new stuff to waste my money on and buy for the bike, right?
