Beautiful!!

A shifter cable broke on the bling machine, so I pulled out the BMC today. Why did I leave this magnificent specimen hanging on the wall for so long? It is sublime.
What doesn't fit in this picture?The G@#$D@#$MMM yellow tire!!!! What was I thinking?!?!?

The BMC, like the SC is all about contrast between black and white. (GO)

The bling machine (OTOH) is all about flamboyant sexiness!! (SHOW)
Cosmic carbones need yellow tires! :D

That yellow tire goes BACK on the specialized when I get new shifter cables for it!

Maybe I'll need to buy that from you for my Bianchi after all ;)

If you want a 700x25c- you might have a deal! I'm a 700x23c type of guy. :D

The wheels are heavy (3K Grams), but I won't get another set until after I lose another 10lb off my fat azz. It felt awkward with the bars up so high, especially no-handed. I lowered them & flipped the stem, feels a lot better. I'm getting used to the disc brakes, now I'm glad I got them.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1466173881.jpg

may I ask how good a deal you got?

great looking bike.

Sure, it was marked down from $2.6K to $2K. It's no longer on sale. It was a factory sale that I had to bring to the LBS attention to get the deal. Giant

Went out to dinner with my wife tonight. Took the 911. Drove into the garage. Suddenly I was confronted by a herd of bikes! This was my view! Good times! :Dhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1468887305.jpg

Was that unexpected or were you drunk and forgot?

Little of both. Sitting low in the car I felt like I was surrounded in some herd of cattle or something. Luckily nothing got scathed!

Hang them form the rafters and you can pass underneath.

Ha!
On a side note, I thought Byron was from Cali. Now I'm seeing a Fla. address. Had no idea there were so many cool BMX heads in Fla.:D

Thanks, my new Bassett pedals (an old BMX brand that has new life) for the 24" Azusa (JMC tribute frame & fork, one of 20 built by SuperCross with Jim Melton's (R.I.P.)

Original Schwinn Cimarron circa 1985:
From the schwinn catalog "New for 1985, the Cimarron is designed from the ground up for the serious off road rider. Top-of-the-line componentry specifically designed for all terrain riding is combined with a lightweight frame and fork that will absorb plenty of shock yet provide many years of back country riding enjoyment and comfort.

Well- they called the "many years of riding" thing right!
My Version 2016 (I was putting some new cables on it today so I can ride my daughter off the back):

Mine's not really show condition! :D
