Great looking bike. Count me as a fan of the WI cranks, as well--and of the
BMC frames. That colour really pops.

Looks great! Curious to hear how you arrived at the brake placement?
And side question — did you get the brakes new, or from the parts bin? Looking
for a pair myself.

Bill mentioned he purchased the CX 70 brakes from Rivendell a while back.
The CX 70 model was discontinued, and just about every place is out of back
stock as well. A while ago I had a bead on a set somewhere, but delayed in
ordering (less than a day) and poof! I ended up with a pair in trade,
The site below still shows sets of CX-70 brakes available. They are
discontinued as far as I know but this shop liked the brakes (for good
reasons) and stockpiled some. Anyway, I assume they are still available

Very nice ..I've been following BMC blog and curious about building up a
lightweight off-road MC myself.
Bill, can you tell me your PBH?
Also, on those Shimano 10sp barcons, are the cable adjusters part of the
shifter? or you added them to the cable itself?

Second hook from the right.
Jonathan D asked for me to compare the ride vs Rivs and my Black Mountain Road.
I only buy framesets that fit me. I know the numbers well enough and myself
well enough that I can always grab something that fits.
John W asked how I arrived at brake placement.
I installed the cantilever brakes DIRECTLY onto the cantilever brake posts. 😝.
Maybe you meant something else? Brake lever placement was an educated guess
based on the assumption that 100% of off road downhill braking will be done
from the drops.
Haha. You got me. Should not hit reply before caffeinating.
What I meant to say was, I love the placement of the thumbies!

Aha, by ‘brake placement’ , John W meant ‘shift lever placement’.
I placed them as wide as the 31.8mm section of the Salsa Cowchipper bars would
allow. I chose the Salsa Cowchipper bars because the 31.8mm sleeve is quite
wide. I decided against normal bar-con placement because they are flared d

Yes, Rock and Roads will go on next, most likely. I wanted to confirm that

Bill, your bikes are always well-appointed and seem to fit you perfectly.
Thanks for sharing pics, details, and data.
I know the intended use of the BMC is different than your Sam, but I’d love
comparisons. I’m in between Sam sizes, and the BMC might be a better fit.

Probably a stiffer disc fork would have to be longer to give the same axle
movement, to take the edge off bumps. I doubt any rigid fork can absorb the
shocks that a shock fork can. In fact, that seems self-evident.
