Not sure of the weight. Also, I'll shorten the stem to a 110mm length.

Thanks for taking a look at her!

    Nice. I've always liked the way BMC's look.

    Saw one of these yesterday at local cafe.. probably a size 55 I reckon it was, with Dura Ace Di2, 3T Ltd stem and bars, and Lightweight Standard wheels... Just lovely, was tempted to nick it, except there were about 100 potential witnesses sitting around..

    One of these days I'll try one, would like an Impec too!

    Very nice, I am thoroughly enjoying mine. I just wish I was good enough to do it justice.

    Just came across your post today. I built my BMC SLR01 last year before X'Mas. Like yours, I got all my frame and parts thru the net. Major differences with yours are: DA groupset (not Di2) with Rotor 3D+ crank and chainwheels 50/36, Sram BB30. I am using DA C24 wheelset. They are light and strong enough for me. Did you find the seat post very squeaky? I think the 2012 SLR01 has a seat post clamp instead to get rid of the squeaky noise. Did your fork come with the Colnago carbon steerer expander (60mm length)? I torqued that to 7N-m (Specialized recommends 9N-m for their expander and FSA 7N-m for theirs). I can't find the spec for Colnago expander. I have done about 1000k since and all is well except for the squeaky noise when sitting and climbing. But it climbs like a demon and very responsive. I am very happy with it overall. I don't know how to put a pic in here.
