Is this the closest to legal way to get Obree's superman position?

Position looks great on the bike!
Shows how different bike fits can be. I'm 186, and would probably need a 30mm stem with at least 15mm negative setback seatpost on that 58. I envy people with longer than average arms (wingspan longer than you are tall) - it opens up so many options, fit wise. I'm all leg, with wingspan 'only' that of my height ... fit is such a pain.tubbeg wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 6:09 pmTifosiphil wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 2:38 pmHoly reach, 140mm stem and those pursuit bars have a 103mm reach don't they?

The back of your stem is slightly wider than the top cone. Does that bother you?tubbeg wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 8:13 amBMC.jpg

Is the BMC TimeMachine (in a THREE 2022 Rival build) - still a worthy purchase this season? Considering the other options available (or at least for preorder...)
The frame I think is now 3 years old - so wonder if its worth the price premium over something similar / newer?

We should stay on them. I just emailed them again.spdntrxi wrote:I've been emailing them for 2 years on the subject.. I dont think we will get one.
Would love to shed some weight. Love the speed and comfort of the TMR01.
Have you found good ways to save weight?
Main savings for me were Rapide wheels, TPU tubes, 11-28 Red cassette. Not sure what to upgrade next.

My only worry about going to a different aero bike, other than wallet/marriage concerns, is that it might not be faster on the flats where I live.
This TMR01 ‘feels’ very fast. At 7.5kg it might not be the best all rounder, but I wonder if the aero tweaks like the integrated bottle cages, rotor cover etc have helped appreciably in getting PRs and KOMs. Would have to try more bikes to see I guess…
Would be great to hear about your comparisons.

I have the same worries believe me.. I rode the new S5... "feels" fast, not necessary faster, but it's nice. It's also 7.8kg with 12 speed DA in my size.. so I've more of less wrote it off my list for now.Turrifik wrote: ↑Fri Sep 09, 2022 9:00 pmMy only worry about going to a different aero bike, other than wallet/marriage concerns, is that it might not be faster on the flats where I live.

I’m looking for a narrower handlebar for my tmr. 38 or 40cm.
Has anybody found a good source for bmc’s ics aero bars (can’t find any in stock), or another alternative that has the same 25.4mm clamp diameter?
Thanks for any tips.
