BMC kitout- suggestions requested

cw2864 said:

I'm in the final stages of ordering a BMC SLT-01 bike frame and would appreciate if anyone has any comments on these components:

a. Group set Campagnolo Chorus 2007
b. Wheel set Mavic Ksyrium SL 2007
c. Stem and handle bar Ritchey WCS
d. Saddle Aspide FX
e. Tires Continental GP

They look like a pretty good combination to me, just wondering if anybody has other suggestions-

Youve pretty much chosen the household names in bike gear, cant see that youll have any problems. Are you sure about the sizes of stem and bars, have you been measured, also have you ridden one of those seats befor. i find that usually with a new bike you'll gat at least one componant wrong, normally stem or seat.

Ok, thanks. I will get measured at the shop. Appreciate the reply.

Go pro race tyres. Conti don't punture much and last a while (or in the GP 4 seasons' case forever) but have a pretty bad ride and rolling resistance. Otherwise, very nice (If you can get it cheap enough, Deda newton stuff really suits BMCs)

I would set it up with some Deda Newton bars and stem (personal preference, and looks cool).

Also, why not consider a set of Campagnolo wheels?

Splendid set-up, by the way!

loose the mavics and get a suitable campy wheel set. Eurus would suit the bike better, mavics are for mass produced bikes that look at the marketing value.

I changed to Campy wheels, thanks for the advice. Looking forward to it.
