Bike Of The Week: 2012 BH G5 with Shimano Di2

The Bike of the Week has returned in fine fashion, celebrating the arrival of the 2012 BH G5 Di2.  The latest iteration of the G5 frame continues to support the Shimano electronic platform and includes an integrated Di2 battery mounting system on the underside of the downtube, near the bottom bracket, and thus lowering the bike’s center of gravity.  The G5 in this week’s edition of BOTW wears a 2012 Shimano Dura Ace Di2 kit, a Dura Ace 7900 SRM power crank, and Dura Ace CL-C24 carbon clincher wheels.

The G5 frameset continues to utilize an integrated seatpost design, increasing the stiffness of the frame while reducing overall weight, making the bike perfect for racing and spirited training.  The G5 continues to be a fixture on the local competitive cycling scene under riders from the BH/Comedy Central team, with this particular bike’s owner proclaiming that her G5 is “the most fun I’ve had on a bike.”  Don’t take her word for it, stop by for a test ride of your own.
