Don't get fooled by tubing marketing, the BMC bikes are as nice as any steel bike I've ever owned.

Yeah, I am still torn between the two BUT the color options are not so great at Black M. So that might be an issue for me. Yes, I am vein that way and color does matter

Made in USA was a big part of my decision to get a Gunnar. A number of my Crosshair's components are also made in USA, and those that aren't are mostly France, Germany, Italy. I like the labor law protections for workers in those countries. Also the fact that I myself once worked at a US bike mfr.

Have a Gunar Roadie with custom geometry.
My favorite bike- perfect fit, a great balance of comfort and riding response.
Sorry I did get it several years earlier.

@Jarrett2

I have no problem with their colours, but I don't like their very long name on the downtube.

They should change their name to BM or BMB(Black Mountain Bikes) and use the image of a Black Mountain on the head tube and elsewhere.
