Yep, carbon steerer. Is the bridge different or just the fact that it has the hole?
I was actually toying with the idea of getting a BMC, even to the point of calling Evans to check stock levels. I love the look of the frame, but I want a front brake and really wouldn't trust a hole just drilled through forks that were never intended to have a brake on them, and I think the BMC fork is ugly. It was an awful lot of money to pay to start with; add in the cost of a decent carbon fork that takes a brake and it was silly money. That combined with the horror stories, particularly when using it on the street put me off completely.
At least the Look seems to have some sort of reenforcement for mounting a caliper.
