BMC F+F

Lagavulin

Interested in this. Only listed as frame + fork so will require a headset I assume. Anyone ideas as to what kind? I hate the BMC catalogue and spec./pricelist format.

F+F normally means it'll come with a headset

It will come with headset.

I wanted one but they ran out of my size before I could try it out for fit just in case (They were 1199 then!!)

I am hoping for a seatpost as well when my ProMachine arrives...they are meant to be supplied as F&F, seatpost and headset according to the website. Fingers crossed. Even if it is isn't still a bargain, got mine with the extra 10% off so about £1250. Looking forward to it's arrival.

I've recently put a BMC Pro Machine together.

Blue/Black, Campag Chorus & Campag Eurus wheels - can't wait to ride it! Better hope that I can justify it.

Stunning looks in my view and a change from the Specialized/Trek brigade.

I nearly got one of them when they were £1200, I slightly regret going Titanium over carbon. But hopefully the Ti bike will still be around in a few years time, while I know I would have got bored of a carbon bike.

Thank you for the replies. Birthday tomorrow and very tempted just to click on Add to Basket and see what happens.

Dithered about like a silly sod between one of these and a CAAD9 bike while Evans had their 10% Sale on the other week and ended up with neither.

Do it, it's only money. Life is too short!

Make sure you look at the geo and order the right size if you do (you may need 1 size smaller then you first think).

Lagavulin

Yep, checked out the geometry tables. Currently ride a medium Izoard (53.7cm TT) with a 10cm stem. From the geo tables I think a 51 would suit me fine.
