I added the following over the stock bike, which was basically durace everything including the wheelset.
Its high because I paid the rrp on the stock bike when it newly introduced in November 05, should have waited and saved about 2k. This would have paid for all the add ons.

Fizik Arione Carbon Braided saddle
Deda RS Corsa Carbon seat post
Deda Zero 100 stem
Time RXS Carbon ti pedals
Elite Patao carbon cages
Michelin Pro 2 Race "limited edition" tires
Polar 625x computer (speed, cadence and hr)

And I still get cracked by mountain bikes.

Don't tell the Finance Mgr (aka the wife) or use the excuse its an investment for a healthy life. Cheaper than medical bills until you crash.

Fortunately it won't be purple/magenta, or it'll really burn Alienator's eyes.

I really like BMCs if I have to go for a round tube bike too. Or a Cervelo R3. Trek is last place.

weight is around like 16.25 lbs with thoes parts thats prolly around 4000$ USD

Here's my baby. A little retro but still a wonderful and fast ride. The photo is a little old, before I replaced the brake hoods. $40.00 USD for two, outrageous! i still have work to do on the other three before I post photos of them.

Your BMC is pretty hot too. Look back though this thread and look at bobbyOCR's bike. That is so hot that it should be X rated!

Not quite a BMC, Ridley or Time. But I just finished this a couple of weeks ago and it's a pretty fine criterium bike. Stiff, very snappy handling and horribly unforgiving on rough roads. Very comparable to the CAAD7 I was racing a couple of seasons back.
