BBQ means Barbeque (the colour Black)

Look at Robin's Scalpel, his bike is also painted BBQ.

Eli - how are you finding the XX parts? I'm not one for cannondales, but that bike is pure business. I like it!

I rode a demo one of these the other weekend and it blew me away, super stiff, compliant and the mix of components mean it is just the ultimate XC race bike in my eyes, quite worryingly it actually weighs the same as my road bike! And I thought my xc race bike (XT group, Fox F100s, Bonty X lite wheels, Bonty/Easton finishing kit, Gary fisher Big Sur frame) was quick, this thing is in another galaxy compared to even the next highest spec race bike thier is!

i belive your blowing impressions are stipulated by the fact that indeed, the bike is in a different category from what you've ridden so far. under 8kgs, new generation frame, new level components, very light wheels + TYRES!, all this put together creates an impression of "another galaxy" ;) nothing bad to think or say about flash (i haven't ridden one) but i'm sure you would get about the same kind o impression riding Flash or new Merida or Scale or Raven, what else ;) = a bike from a "new" category.
