Glad to hat I found this thread and that there's lots of like-minded people on here
I love those BMCs. As for the disc CD rim brakes debate I went to discs last year on my Roubaix and I have a Roubaix without discs and the same spec (other than some upgraded Mavic wheels) and all I can say is that the difference is challenging and cheese. I can safely say that I will never have another road bike without discs! |

Also learned that BMC is requiring that we send back the defective BMC frame set which is going to force a decision on the F8 sooner than later.... Here is the new frame.

Was that a standard color option or did you go custom on the paint for yours? I really like your colors, they remind me of Gulf livery race cars.

Go to Pinarello "MyWay" and you can customize it almost any way you want. The downside is that it took 4 MONTHS to get! |

Very early beginner road cyclist here. I got into the sport two years ago, sophomore year of highschool, and I love it, no matter how bad I might be at it. I love riding just to ride more than I do racing, and I hope to explore many amazing places with my bike someday (using my M3 to bring it with me long distances, of course).

I do. The whole fleet actually. I have to decide between a full day dedicated to cleaning all of them or clean them as they get ridden and just dedicate a day to maintenance for all of them.
Staying on top of it makes it quicker to complete.

I tune, but I don't build. I'd like to give it a shot though (then end up at mechanic friends' places fixing all my botches).

But it goes into great detail and logically explains how things work and what the effects are of certain adjustments. http://www.parktool.com/product/big-...-edition-bbb-3

Yes, this way I know everything was done correctly. Only thins I don't do are the 2 things I don't have the tools for. Pressing headset bearings and building wheels. I find that most shops don't know what a torque wrench is which usually results in over tightened fasteners.
Side benefit is that if you ever have a road side issue, or one of your friends does, you know how everything works so you have a good chance of being able to fix it. |
