This is Chris’ new road bike; a BMC SLC01 Pro Machine with an Easton EA90 SLX fork.

The frame anrd fork were purchased from Capital Cycles and I built it up using Chris’ Chorus groupset and Wheelworks wheels. 7.14kg and ready for the Tour of Southland :-)

I’m busy with wheelbuilding these days so it was a bit of a treat to break out the tools and do a complete bike build.  The build went together really easily – no parts needed heavy modification or custom fabrication which are so often required to get the best out of high end bikes…although a straight-forward build makes life easier I really enjoy that side of things so I found it a bit of a ripoff :-)

The end result is a simply stunning bike!
