That bike went from being used by a pro to a commuter. It reminded me of how a horse can go from working to "out to pasture" where it becomes more of a pet that works occasionally. It now gets to have a good life and get ridden every day.
BMC SLC01 is a beauty. I have two of these - one exactly like yours and the other one is black with silver logo. Great job bringing the bike back to life. I also have two BMC SLX01. All with Campy drivetrain. Keeping it as long as I can ~
I fixed the same problem with the Campag front mech using a piece of gaffer tape and epoxy glue but I had the original parts so didn't have to improvise with the wire. Great commuter bike 🙂
Nice man. I have those wheels. 100 anniversary Ksyrium. I'm gonna use them on by backup bike. An Aluminum with carbon fork "Concorde" Mystral 340. Will build it with DA 7800 groupset. Will be my bike for rainy days group/club ride. So I can spare my 928L 😁 with Ultegra and carbon tubular tires
That is quite a commuter bike! Nice video. One question. How do you know/ can yoube sure there aren't any cracks in the frame? That would frighten me off I think
@@Velofil Thank you! But maybe you have a better (pro) sight than I. I crashed 4 years ago wiyh my Wilier and I didn't see anythin, till the mechanic showed me.
Thanks for the video. Just my 2 cents how come you don't keep the carbon water cages and used the money instead to buy a used decent campy front deraileur. Same you can save to get a pair of used pedals.
hi i know it is a year on and if you still have this bike. i have the piece you are missing from your front mech. they are 3D printed i have a couple you can have for free so you can fix it properly. kind regards
@@Velofil (sorry for my bad English, Italy here) Ok, maybe not completely, but wrong. I think you know that a race frame had to be choose ever on the small side, I mean 1 cm smaller and never 1 bigger. Also the problem, the big problem is the leght of top tube (stem, saddle, knee angle etc ). So you ended with a poor tourist set up position on a race machine. But race compact frame (and their set up) are for athlets, not normal people. I raced semi-pro mtb and trainig at least 10000 km on road cyclyng per year (frame 55/56 for 1.82). Riki ps: my job professional (all life and still now) is Tennis Trainer, and is the same question, amateur want ever Pro racquet (and string) but obviously it's a very bad error.
Your is a beautyful video, a pleasure to watch, you build a great bike... I was not polite, I had to say before, sorry. I'm a trainer, a technician, I normally see thing from this point of view (about Sport), it's my life. Riki

old is gold! Great bike for any practice! good video too, well done!
Thanks Rafael 👍
Missed you while you were gone, but you know what they say: Quality over quantity
"Quality over quantity" thanks 😉 actually it's more like "no time to edit"!
Imagine finding a deal like this today haha

I just bought a pair from eBay, love them. I can’t put up with carbon brake surface anymore.
Awesome bike - good job!
Thanks Igor 👍 I appreciate that.
Impressive collection of bikes!
Nice good to see you upload again!
A person who (does not) take care of his/her bike like that doesn´t deserve the title pro.
Super, mach doch mal ein Video von deiner Werkstatt!!
Indeed a treat 👍
those carbon seat posts often fail when the carbon teeth wear and the saddle starts to top back sadly
I like this bike. Great job...
Thanks a lot 👍
I like your job and your feeling of humour...

Thanks a lot, cracks can be seen quite well and normally a carbon frame does not suddenly fall apart 😀
@@Velofil Thank you! But maybe you have a better (pro) sight than I. I crashed 4 years ago wiyh my Wilier and I didn't see anythin, till the mechanic showed me.
Heldenkurbel! 💪🏼
Strange to see square tapered BB on that bike, beautiful bike
I thought the same 🤔

Thanks. sadly the carbon cages had cracks😕
@@Velofil ic 😅
First video in 5 months!
I was busy cycling 😊
What bottle cage is that, please?
This is a King Cage stainless steel bottle cage, not as light as the titanium version but much cheaper...
hi i know it is a year on and if you still have this bike. i have the piece you are missing from your front mech. they are 3D printed i have a couple you can have for free so you can fix it properly. kind regards
Hi Paul, thanks for you kind offer. 👍 I replaced this part just some weeks ago 😏 😭😤
Sorry - no offence - but totally wrong frame size (really easy to see from the "position")...and is the first and most important thing (!).
Come on, it's not completely wrong. This is a 57cm Frame and I'm a bit over 180cm. (6:00 The sloping is minimal)
