BMC Granfondo GF02

Finally got round to treating myself to a new bike :-) a 2015 BMC Granfondo GF02....and since I haven't seen many BMCs on here, I thought I'd share. I love the styling of the BMCs and have been a big fan ever since seeing them on the TdF a couple of years back so I'm a happy roadie right now 
It's got a full 105 groupset and came with Shimano RS10 wheels running 28mm tyres; but I quickly swapped these out for some Zondas with 25mm tyres, and it's made a big difference; not only to the weight, but the ride too... and the Zondas definitely look better. I've also changed the stock Selle Royal Saba saddle for a Fizik Antares R3.
My previous bike is a 2013 Forme Longcliffe 3.0, and although this has served me well over 4,200 miles, the BMC defo feels like a huge step up. The Forme is now on the turbo, but I suspect it'll see the road again come winter.
