Oh, and it's maybe a watt or three more efficient. But yeah, if you've got one of those deals going on and you have to have a stack of those special spacers, it's a bit of a buzz-kill. |

Not sure how you can say that running wires and hoses inside bars and frames is ugly compared to hoses and wires outside of frames.
Stuff like this just looks amazingly clean and efficient: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...69c5d995fb.jpg |

Do you have one?
Some Ultegra R8170 would get rid of two of those cables, though. :innocent: |

They take the photo from that angle because if they took a normal BF one, that BMC would look terrible. I'll take my 2015 BMC with a little cable exposed. I bet the front end is stiffer. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...0e7c69d8b7.jpg |

For the record, my wife doesn’t do Mexican food or Chinese or most any ethnic food. She’s picky and almost a vegetarian. |

We went next door to the IHOP and I needed a shave by the time our food came. Same at another restaurant the day before.

Hard to argue about the stack height on the BMC, but I just quickly pulled a Google image with no wires.
This one actually looks much better: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...98cc6135c8.jpg Anyway you look at it, the clean cockpit is the shiz. |

I guess so. If it's slammed and low profile, it's not bad. It looks like a normal bike. That Wilier in Hot r Not would still look weird slammed.

Like LAJ, I've hoarded too many bike parts to make major changes now. I have a back up Reynolds Ouzo Pro fork. Just in case.

The red and blue one? It looks weird because it's sized for wee folk, IMO. Big folk and wee folk get the short end of the Hot or Not stick.
How do you adjust the stem length and angle? |
Flu shot done.
