The new frame arrived at Fedex Tampa today at 6:32pm. It's literally sitting less than 1 mile from my office.

This will seem odd coming from a guy riding a Wilier Zero7, but you don't have to spend big bucks on a bike. The gains from anything over $3k or so are minimal; I'm probably 2% faster on the Wilier than on my Litespeed. Specialized seems to have some good models in this price range. I am a fan of Wilier BTW, and the Zero9 is supposed to be a great bike. Ultegra should work great for you, I have an Ultegra gruppo with something like 30k miles on it and it still runs perfectly. Completely agree on getting properly fit, that's a big deal - worth the money. Cheers

It's not custom, but the frame fits me. I'm not abnormally sized, pretty well proportioned between leg length and torso length.

https://www.retul.com/get-a-retul-bi...etul-bike-fit/ I thought you meant the frame being custom built. That DIVO bike I was looking at does all custom frame builds. But it didn't yet allow for 25mm tires. The size 540 Dogma F8's geometry works really well for me. I'm pretty sure I'll just need a 10mm shorter than standard stem and possibly a zero set back seat post. Hopefully the standard setback seat post will work since the zero setback one is $450!

Of course I know good material is/was never cheap but it's worth the investment . I'm curious to see your new frame ...Loved my Colnagos back in time. I destroyed a lot of money on the ground , fault was always the others in the peloton ! (no time to brake , and my scars are still visible)

From there the sizes (the height and length) of the frame are stored in the computer and send to the factory with your name to built your custom frame . I heard the latest gen. works with a laser for the size of the frame . Yeah...I really love the Pinarello red scheme and the Campagnolo wheels . Good choise Sir , and congrats !

The expression from people when handing them a carbon road bike frame is always fun. lol
I've only unboxed it to have a look, but i'm super excited to start building when i get home. Pretty sure i'm going to be leaving early today.

The red GF02 frame is going back to BMC. The new Stealth Black SLR02 frame will be fitted out with 2016 Ultegra group and listed for sale.
So, an unridden SLR02 frame with 1000mile Ultegra group. It's a sweet ride, it's just the murdered out all black look doesn't do anything for me anymore. I had all black bikes back in the early 90s and have just had my fill of them. I couldn't choose the color of the replacement frame, so i'm parting with it. My wife is a bit bummed since we won't be Team BMC anymore.

Here she is.
I left a lot of steer tube until i get it fit properly. I don't think i'll need the zero set back seat post. I've got the measurements dial in so that the only thing that has been extended is my reach, by about 26mm. I was intending to extend the reach a bit for a more aggressive riding position. The saddle is still able to be moved forward about 10-12 mm which should give me plenty of adjustment. Once i get used to the new position, i'll probably lower the bars by a spacer or two. Going in for fit either tomorrow or Friday.

It's a 54 frame. Not planning on cutting the steer tube to give the new owner plenty to work with.
