This isint only sprinters bike. I am going to get this with light dura-ace wheels. Here in Finland climbs are small so it doesnt matter how fast you can drive uphill, that matters how fast you can go on flat and on small hills... And SLX 01 is perfect for that type of roads...
a bike is only as strong as its weakest point, and that seat stay doesnt look strong enough to me (even though it probably is). Just sayin. I wish i could ride one of these, im very curious as to how it would feel.
I bought this bike back in June 2010 and I love every inch of it the way it looks and the way it handles every time I take it for a spin it just blows me away and I am going to buy a really good set of pro wheels coming into next spring one happy IRISH MAN not to many of them around these day just a little joke sorry
I love my racemaster, it is very stiff and comfortable at the same time. 7,550 kg without pedals. Thats with fulcrum3 and chorus11s. Not the lightest but super stiff rocketship on the sprints
I'd consider myself a climber. But since I don't get paid to race, I don't need the right machine for the job, just the prettiest one, and this is it. Best looking BMC in their range, hands down. Next bike...very possibly.
Great review, Andy...and an amazing ride.

Great bike and great review. I am a little concerned about what is going on with Andy's t-shirt though.
