    That's a real beauty.
    When you sort out the steerer tube length, you'll pretty much have it sorted.
    You win this thread. Well done.

    Choice of cranks makes it. Had you gone black that would have looked another bike altogether I think.

    I have form for being triggered by the spoke pattern on those wheels though in this case I'll let it slide as I didn't notice them such was a quality of the bike :)

    Cheers folks. Fork will get the chop soon, I just wanted to be absolutely certain before taking it down the last few mm.
    I'm delighted with the look of the crankset myself tbh. I had it in mind when picking the colours for the frame, really chuffed seeing it all together. Hopefully it lives up to expectations when I get it out on the road.

    BB386evo came as standard. I'm well used to it and have the tools to service it so no need to change.

    Wow is all I can say!

    The only thing I'd change is the Brennans pan for a Hovis Granary one!

    If I had the cash I'd be on a similar spec BMC , dream bike for me. Which model is it. Pretty sure it's the Teammachine SLR range, SLR01 Three maybe?

    Thanks. Spot on it's a 2021 Team machine SLR01 Three. Which means it's got SRAM Force Axs groupset except for chain,rotors and cassette which is Red Axs. Put my own saddle on it obviously, and swapped out the included DTSwiss 1650's for Enve SES45 AR's. One spacer had to go and LBS cut the steerer. I'd never be able to right it slammed (yet anyway). Unfortunately it doesn't get the all in one bar and red stem. That's on the Two (dura ace) and One (Red Axs). However the stem on it does a good job of hiding the brake hoses and it will take any standard 31.8mm bar.

    It’s a very neat solution - looks fully integrated without the faff of everything travelling through headset. Well wear!

    Picked this up over the weekend. Has plenty of racing battle scars, but
    they merely contribute to its overall beauty! :). Such lovely frames to ride both on and off road.
