Thanks for posting pictures of your BMC. I have one in orange and the new
green is so loud, obnoxious and awesome it makes we trade up. Great build,
I had 50's on mine but they were a tad big for the riding I was doing and
went back to the Rock N Roads.

seems like such a versatile bike.

One slightly negative aspect of these SRAM brake levers on this flared drop
handlebar:
The top of the SRAM S500 lever body is fairly flat and that offers a nice flat
continuation of the ramp into the hood on a normal drop bar. On these flared
drops, the lever is tilted inward and so that flat t

Nice job!
Did you cut the steerer tube on the fork or is that the original height of it?

Grant has stated, long ago if not often, that fat/fattish tires and

so. I know Jan believes that thin-blade, heavily raked forks do a great

There was a long discussion on this topic on the 650b forum:

There's also the Lauf Grit fork, if you can stomach the looks:
