Ok, I got the new bike about two weeks ago!! I absolutely love him. Unfortunately, about 2 days before I got him I had a stupid crash on my old bike( bunnyhopped a crack for fun and apparently my front skewer had worked loose and i endo-ed, broke my nose) and I had sinus surgery/deviated septum surgery/fix fracture surgery this past monday so haven't ridden at all this week.
anyways here is a photo of the new bike for those who didn't see him on FB- I am in absolute love, super light, handles great- barely shift weight for turns and responds to acceleration like a dream.
He is the BMC TeamMachine SLR01 built up with SRAM Force. I also bought a powertap wheel off of the rep the other weekend at a race( demo, about 75 miles on it- DT Swiss rim with the pro hub)
