54cm BMC Teammachine ALR01 Frameset
$550 - Arlington, VA (22201)

2016 BMC Teammachine ALR01 Frameset - 54cm This is a special edition alloy frameset. Includes carbon fork, same one that comes on the SLR01 carbon frame, carbon seatpost, and Ultegra threaded BB. Does not include stem shown in photos, but that can be sold too.

Built this up in May or June and ridden probably 1000 miles. It has a threaded BB and externally routed cables, which is wildly unique in 2016. It has no damage aside from some cosmetic wear from a trunk rack strap rubbing off some of the anodization, shown in photos.

Is that the DC used bike marketplace you are referring to?

The $1000 race bike build is underway. I most likely am going to go over but Just bought a 2009 Caad 9 5 for $450. In my estimation the bike was ridden once or twice(and the cateye appears to verify that!). I am up for any suggestions!

Sell the current pedals (shimano pd8530) and get some SPD-SLs(net $75)
Better wheels, tires and tubes to race ($425)
Dura Ace 7800 Rear Derailleur ($50)

Optional
Dura Ace Cassette? 12-27 ($80)
Crank?
Handlebars?
Bar Tape?

Nice,
Derailuers, cassette and crank get you nowhere unless you need ratios different. Then, no need for DA stuff. Ultegra will do just fine.
Bars and tape are personal and only for fit.
Good tires are always a win, wheelset if you can swing it.

Enjoy that, super bike.
