I'm glad you mentioned that. I will most likely need a shorter stem and was wondering where I could find one.




Great to hear. I have been drooling over the photos of the bike for months now. If it looks even better and shifts like butter, I will feel much better about parting with a bunch of my money.




Those wheels would look good but that's more than I want to spend right now. Getting the bike was the important thing. I have a set of Hunt 34 Aero Wide alloy wheels with GP5000s on my soon-to-be backup bike that I will probably put on the BMC. I know some folks don't care for Hunts but these look good, run fast, and have been trouble-free even over rough roads. They are listed at 1548 grams so there will be a bit of savings over stock there. Other wheels can wait for a while and they would be more for looks than anything else. Even those Ultegra wheels are only 2 ounces lighter at 1488 grams.

Thanks again for giving me the motivation to check on one and also for the encouraging early report on the bike. I really think I'm going to love it. Hopefully, both of us will have many happy miles ahead.
