Good reach:stack ratios. Nice to see race bikes trending longer and lower again.

It's funny how these lines between endurance and race bikes is. Endurance tend to be very high and race very low.
It seems allrounder kind of blurr the line between gravel and race/ endurance.
Talking to fitters - most doesn't benefit from "race bikes", but it's appeal lay in the visual appearance.
I wonder what the new thing will be after gravel have eased down!?
Will it be long front center, slacker headtube to accommodate a short stem?
Might it be allrounder light weight, or? This idea comfort is speed is totally gone now that fat tires has become a big deal.
I'd like to see some valves for hydraulics so you can fiddle with it without undoing the whole shebang.
Oh, i still would have loved to get my hands on one of these

Not a looker. The wide fork has to be for leg shielding. No need to go that wide to just eliminate the interaction with wheel.
Great pictures!!!MatosVelo wrote:My pictures of this new BMC prototype : https://www.matosvelo.fr/index.php?post ... chine-road
That’s by far their biggest frame design update pretty much since they moved to carbon frames.
They clearly upgraded each area, they continue with the bottles integration and the bar is particularly thin.
I am not saying it’s pretty in full black, not as ugly than the Bianchi but that still hurt a bit the eyes.
hopefully BMC's aerroad looks better in a smaller size.C36 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 4:41 pmGreat pictures!!!MatosVelo wrote:My pictures of this new BMC prototype : https://www.matosvelo.fr/index.php?post ... chine-road

To my eyes, does not seem to be too much of tyre clearance on the rear.
Minimum bike categories required in the stable:
Aero bike | GC bike | GC rim bike | Climbing bike | Climbing rim bike | Classics bike | Gravel bike | TT bike | Indoors bike
Aero bike | GC bike | GC rim bike | Climbing bike | Climbing rim bike | Classics bike | Gravel bike | TT bike | Indoors bike
Is this their new teammachine or timemachine road? Cant imagine it being a timemachine as this design is clearly less aero
I also wonder how long is the current Teammachine frame? Since 2019?
To date that's the TM is the most balance bike Ive ever ridden (2013~ frame)
7th gen Plasma TT bike from Scott.

I really like the tiny S-Works logo in the top tube of my Aethos. So glad it's not big on the downtube. I don't ride it for the world to see it's an S-worksTobinHatesYou wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 8:46 pmOne disadvantage of the Aethos is the S-Works is subtly branded and from afar it looks like any round tubed bike, so they are easy to miss.
coming soon, since I just got an extremely good deal on current generation from one of the stores.
