When i was in Switzerland i became familiar with BMC and they make some amazing bikes. I need to add a $5000 bicycle to the garage ASAP!

Ray, you can get 27's on there, no problem! But if you want to try 28's, you'll probably need spacers or have to "roll the forks."

What's the current thoughts on 700's vs 26" or 27"s?

Smaller diameter, good for acceleration, takes a hit on top end. LOL...
Enjoy, nice wheels.

That thing looks like it's constructed from leftover parts from a muffler mod.
