BMC distributor as a guest in my hotel

BMC Pro Team 2013

Pearl Izumi for clothing and 3T for handlebars. I asked about helmets, but he didn't know
He said Ochowiz takes care of everything form the US, so he should prefer something american. Giro?

he was riding a TMR01, his girl a GF01. the TMR01 is very nice looking. he said you better have good legs to get a good use of it

Good for the riders that they finally get rid of the Hincapie stuff. They were more and more disappointed and produced some items from different suppliers (e.g. TT-suits). But not an unknown 'problem' in the pro peloton.
Shimano (replaces Easton) for wheels was already mentioned some weeks ago.

 

[Michele]

BMC will probably continue with Bell (Giro) as helmets as they seem strongly linked to them.

well don't take it personally but your frame does look very similar to the typical specialized frame with the curved top tube, big front part and squeezed down tube, and being vivelo the smaller company ofc some people would say this.

i am also a sucker for simple design that's why i love colnago's and dale's

Dear Mr. Parrulo,
If you be so kind as to make comparisons appearance and geometry of our frames and then compare them to those quoted by you bicycle manufacturers. If you find a 100% similarity, i give you free the frame of your choice.

A Bulgarian bike company. Interesting. Can't think of any other bike brands coming out of southeastern Europe.
