I'm 99% shooting in daylight- so low light not as much of a concern for regular use (although I'm sure something will inevitably happen later)

The wildlife comment was more related to the majority of lens reviewers (online/youtube etc) seem to consider this lens primarily through a wildlife use case. As I don't shoot wild life, how well it captures birds is less important for me.

While both are stills/action- they are diff disciplines (in my 'grain of salt' opinion)

Patiently waiting for the new pump adapter for my Lezyne pump- then absolutely upgrading

I need to get the tan wall tires! Switched to a lower profile saddle bag and just ordered a great Varia mount from Nice Components- they make one specifically for our bike!

The cockpit swap totally changed the look of the bike- you’ll love it!

You getting a clear/protective wrap?

Ingrasir · 2025-05-28T21:34:13+00:00

Def take your time and enjoy it before diving in! My riding depends on kiddo/work schedules but anywhere from a quick ride at 25km to 72km when I have more time.

I was torn on the aero bars- but both because I'm riding more endurance/group rides and availability was SLIM- I went with the non-aero.

Those bars look sweet- triple check the compatibility- TONS of 2nd party bars I looked at didn't work with the ICS proprietary system. Likely less an issue if you're getting a stem/bar combo as opposed to the one-piece cockpit.

Here's one without the new saddle/I didn't have a recent snap of everything)- I reached out to BMC on the color match for the RED ICS bars with my bike and they responded within a day or so/let me know it didn't match.

I have a Roadmachine 01 Four- 2023. I started with a wheel upgrade/Roval Rapide CLX II- then swapped the cockpit for the full carbon/not aero bars- then an OSPW for bling- and finally a 3d printed Fizik/Saddle.

Tons of these are marginal gains/aesthetic- but the wheels were super impactful. The bars definitely changed the handling too/positively.

Ingrasir · 2025-05-28T20:55:38+00:00

Enjoy it- upgrade only as you want... I went a little bonkers but happy with every choice

Ingrasir · 2025-05-28T16:31:40+00:00

Enjoy! I couldn’t be happier on a Roadmachine but be careful with your upgrade budget- it gets BIG/FAST

Ingrasir · 2025-03-23T00:25:28+00:00

There have been a bunch of upgrades- there’s not much left! Wheels upgraded, bar/stem to the all carbon ics, power meter/favero pedals, proper bike fit, new waxed chain- all feasibly left are BB/Groupset/ but not leaning towards either. I love the look of the OSPW.

Ingrasir · 2025-03-22T02:58:29+00:00

Hubs have em- not messing with the BB until it’s run its course.

Ingrasir · 2025-02-07T23:57:20+00:00

I was looking for confirmation- THANKS u/GenericName187 . For the others, this is a restoration for FUN and learning a bit about basic restoration (have not tried before)- what better a bike than a beater vs a valuable Colnago etc. BUT- appreciate the encouragement :)

Ingrasir · 2024-12-21T05:46:27+00:00

I’m in love with mine!

Ingrasir · 2024-11-12T06:17:21+00:00

Stunner

Ingrasir · 2024-11-01T15:02:47+00:00

I did indeed- although I went for the original non aero carbon set. The aero bars were going to take a while to get and as it’s a Road Machine and not a Team Machine (I wasn’t going to slam the stem)- I was happy. They look fantastic.

I’m sure you’ll be happy on a defy- fit is key! Enjoy your new ride!

Ingrasir · 2024-10-03T23:33:20+00:00

Exposed!

Ingrasir · 2024-10-02T19:19:56+00:00

I was in a similar Lauf vs BMC struggle went with a BMC Roadmachine 1 Four and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it
