BMC FS01 26

[motorapido]

Something a bit different from BMC, its a 2013 frame so runs 26" wheels with 100mm travel but its built into a pretty light XC race bike at 10.2kg.

Here is the build list i only have weights for some of the parts which i'll add later.

first impressions are a nicely detailed frame the frame is plenty stiff and has great acceleration with 26" wheels, need to get some miles on it to dial in the setup.

I like it, always like the BMC frames

Question, is there much room in the rear for a 650b wheel?

Hi, yes the frame is really nicely detailed with the anodised fittings etc.

First thing i tried was 650B wheels as that had been my plan, but the bridge at the linkage on the chain-stays means its a no go, so will have to settle with running the 26" wheels.
